Are the cheap vinyl cutters worth it?

[Lloydwens]

Hello all,

I’m looking for some input on if the cheap cutters like uscutter mh series are worth buying. I need to get a cutter for company to cut some vinyl to letter up a truck and some dumpsters. Do you think the mh series could handle that? Or should I spend more money to get a better unit?
I’m considering getting a 34in model.
Any input would be appreciated
Thanks!

Hmm, no experience with that one, but if you are doing small areas and not doing them too often, the little home models should do you just fine.

I have had a USCutter MH32 for about 5 years now. I do all my markings with it. Keep it adjusted properly and a fresh blade installed and it cuts wonderfully. The Sure Cuts a Lot software is pretty powerful and easy to use. A very good investment for me. See my avatar...

I have these USCutter MH 34in and is a great machine for not a lot of $
This cutter a fun adventure into vinyl cutting. The kit came with just about everything I needed to start making decals and such. I've even made custom coffee mugs with the vinyl, too. The only other thing I had to get was a cutting mat.
The software it came with does an excellent job creating vectors and outlines for the cutter.

As a result, where did you end up? If you bought what you wanted, then I think you shouldn't have any problems
