Manual Vinyl Cutter Upgraded

I bought this VEVOR 34-inch vinyl cutter for my projects, and overall it works well. The cuts are fairly precise, and it handles different types of vinyl. It took me a little time to get used to the software at first, but after a few days of practice I was able to make my designs without issues. It feels sturdy, and the 34-inch size lets me cut large pieces easily.

Pros: "Awesome" Amateur friendly... Cons: The included Vinyl is poor quality, mainly due to insufficient backing thickness. Do yourself a favor and buy Orical by 3M or another quality vinyl stock. ~BEWARE~ of Pressure cut Definition, The actual function is more defined as: "Cutter to Vinyl Distance" then refined to distance into the vinyl being cut. It is easy to cut far to deep, so start in small increments until the cutter reach's the vinyl... then proceed to necessary depth without cutting through the backing.

So far I've used the cutter just a few times with the included vinyl. The vinyl seems to be low quality, very thin and is probably influencing my results. The cutter is doing a pretty decent job of cutting but for some reason they designed the outfeed area with horizontal grooves. The cheap vinyl curls and gets caught in these grooves. Not well thought out. I've got some nice oracal on the way so maybe that will provide better results. To help with the situation I covered the outfeed area with packing tape. Doesn't look too good but it's helped a lot. The free software included wasn't too impressive. I upgraded to the pro version which allows vector tracing of graphics and it does a pretty decent job. I think once I learn the quirks, dial in the settings and use better materials it'll provide satisfactory results. I'm not disappointed with my purchase so far.

6mo warranty... It died at 6mos and 1 week. Won't turn on anymore, smelled like burning electronics. Should have expected this though since I had so many issues since the second it arrived. 1. It came with loose screws bouncing around inside it. CS (I called after thoroughly inspecting it for a possible point of origin didn't show anywhere it could have came from.) They said "its probably just an extra that got left in there, nothing to worry about." 2. It is advertised to be capable of many things, one more important then the others, the ability to vectorize. Issue here is that the software included with the plotter is the basic version of Sign Master.... The basic version DOES NOT ALLOW VECTORIZING!! Cost me an additional $160 to be able to do what THEY advertised it COULD ALREADY DO!! 3. Several of the included vinyl rolls were already opened and either totally destroyed (as in dropped off a truck and draged down the freeway for a while, then stuffed into half a plastic bag) or cut into with chunks missing (as if the roll was used and I was given the remaining scrap!) Other issues: had to reinstall the software 3x over the last 6 months and the driver 4x. Not sure why, just stops working periodically. That is of course right up until days after their "warranty" expires when the circuitry spontaneous melted!! Luckily I was there and could pull the power cord since you know... It was SMOKING and probably would have started a dam fire!!!! Stay away! Stay far away from this machine, this seller, and these companies! Save yourself a possibly burnt down house or business, hundreds of dollars in loss, and hours of live wasted with "customer service."

Very good equipment at an excellent price, it works excellent, it leaves my vinyl cuts precise

Works great. I’m not the best at this kind of thing, but figured it out relatively fast with the help of the great YouTube videos that are online. The vinyl that it comes with is not good. I saw a lot of reviews that stated that. Got much better results when I got better paper. Do yourself a favor and get some especially if you’re new at this. Plus it’s easier the set up the first time with good paper.

Would be great if it was wireless. The packaging left a bit to desired and was looking like it’d be a disaster but it did survive. It looks good, it’s light, BUT the assembly instructions leave a lot to be desired. The software and driver install had me on the verge to return it to sender as the manual photos and instructions completely suck. After what seemed to be an eternity It finally was able to communicate and print. It’ll most likely cut but all I needed was an economical printer for patterns. Hopefully it’ll perform the way I’ve planned and if so then long enough to make a dollar. If it does all that without issues it will get a 5 star rating. Oh and BTW It does run on an IMac.

Excelente máquina!
