The USCutter MH34 is a decent solution for those looking for a properly sized, cost-effective vinyl cutter. This machine can cut any 34” standard thickness vinyl and it comes with a stand, the necessary software, and several rolls of sample material.

Pros
Pro Exceptional value for the money
This is the only decent vinyl cutter capable under $300 capable of cutting 34” wide media. And it comes with a stand included. A single stand of a high-end GCC machine will probably cost more than $400. It is highly unlikely to find a quality cutter less expensive than this one.
Pro A lot of sample material is included
Additionally to the cutter itself, you will also get multiple rolls of 24” vinyl, two massive rolls of application transfer tape, and a roll of paper application tape. This will be enough for you to ‘play around’ with the cutter and find the appropriate cutting parameters.
Cons
Con Cutting precision is limited
A stepper motor controls the Z axis of this machine, and its cutting precision is much lower than the cutting precision of a digital servo motor (used in higher end machines). Only machines with a digital servo motor controlled Z Axis can cut ultra thin vinyl films.
