USCutter MH 34” vs Graphtec CE6000-60

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.

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.

There is an official USCutter MH series setup video tutorial available on Youtube. The tutorial covers all the essential parts of the setup procedure, from unboxing to the actual cut. And it is only 14 minutes long.

There are two main things you need in large production runs: speed and repeatability. This machine has a good maximum cutting speed of 35-inches/s, which is more than enough for home business applications. An automatic paneling feature takes he repeatability to a whole new level. It allows the machine to separate multiple long jobs into smaller blocks and cut them individually. This feature highly improves accuracy and media tracking.

The Graphtec CE6000-60 is a professional machine, designed specifically for commercial use. The machine will easily deal with 24/7 production runs.

It is a perfect machine if you need to cut complex shapes. Due to the combination of tangential emulation and overcut features, the device can cut almost any shape you can come up with.

This vinyl cutter has a registration mark sensing system. This system allows you to contour-cut the pre-printed graphics (full-color heat transfers and stickers).

Many spare parts, including motors, pulleys, bearings, and gears, are easily available online. You can buy those parts on Aliexpress, Amazon, or eBay.

This machine is built with high quality materials. The body of the machine is made mainly from metals. Therefore, it is very heavy, stable, and durable.

Graphtec CS6000-60 can produce extremely long cuts, up to 1968” (at the maximum width of 23.7”). This allows for high volume production runs even in a domestic environment.

Due to the 4.9N of cutting force, this machine will easily slice through any vinyl you would ever want to cut.

A digital servo motor control system is used to precisely control the position of a blade. The used digital control system is a high-precision, very expensive one usually only found in premium grade machines.

A free copy of Graphtec Studio software is included with this machine. The software is used to either create new vector designs or import the existing models in various file formats. You will also get the necessary Windows drivers.

This vinyl cutter comes with a free stand. This is remarkable, because manufacturers usually provide a stand only as an optional accessory, and brands like GCC and Roland charge between $200 and $500 for their stands.
