There's always going to be an element of noise from a cutter as it does it's thing. Would love to have a cutter that didn't make any noise, then I could be cutting all night long, lol

skru - a lot of these members are just after an entry level cutter, a lot of them are just starting out and are doing hobby/small work from home. Roland etc price wise everyone would love to own, but few home buyers can manage

That's a fair bit of generalistation you're making there.

I've got a chinese import, it's a 54inch cutter, and hasn't caused me any problems since I got it up and running, and a few others on the forum are also using chinese imports without problem.

Oh, and the one I have is a Roland clone.

Where do you think most of the cutters etc are made? Even the big branded items ;-)

Our little machine last year churned out 1200+ designs for us and has done more than a 1000 to date this year alone, we are soon preparing for a big 3 day show so it will be working it's little socks off again. I haven't even counted what it produced up to last year.

I have recently purchased another (still in it's box) for back up, it has to give up at some point hey.

The width is not an issue for me and it's a perfect machine for what it's required to do, would highly reccomend!
Very affordable start up to test the waters with too.

LOL Paul, I'm fed up with people making sweeping generalisations.

Just because it doesn't work for them, doesn't mean it won't work for someone else.

This is supposed to be a help forum, not a put everyone down forum ;-)

Massive overkill advising someone to get a Roland just to cut a few heat pressed lettering/designs - I do agree that you get what you pay for, and for accuracy - the Roland would be better, but as a start in the business, a chinese cutter is money well spent. Anyway - are they all not made in China? or with Chinese components.

BTW; I started 7 years ago with a self imported Dingtec, and its still cutting true now!
