Like their squeegees, also like their wrap gloves = 1/2 the price of other brands. Also got a pack of their micro squeegees to try out and a pack of blades which are much cheaper than OLFA, but we'll see about the quality.

No really good way to get it off, solvent will melt the plastic it's on...might be best to wrap it.

Absolutely, can't imagine life without it now.

Nope, we mount small things like yard signs, 12" x 18" aluminum blanks, etc on either side with no issue. The only thing I will say is that if you go above 1/4" thickness, and doing small size mounting it is best to put a similar thickness of the same material on the other side of the table for...

We were early adopters of the CWT 1640 when it came out. Very well built unit - yes, the glass on the table is in 2 pieces, it is higher in the center and presses down when the roller is dropped. (Similar to a crowned roller - just different method) Hasn't been a problem for us, machine is...

Not sure if the HF router uses the same collet as the standard router, but we bought a replacement collet in 1/8" and 1/4" for our router. (The standard router uses the ER16 collet - you should be able to check your documentation to confirm.)...

I will strongly vouch for Phil and his team. Every time I have ever called with a problem with our D-140 or our new 1640 (which hasn't been more than a few times in either case) his techs were able to get the problem sorted out quickly and get us back to work. Can't say enough and wouldn't...

SP-540 is kind of a dinosaur compared to today's printers. Yes, they still print and can still do the job, but I agree with everyone else, $8,000 is way too much money no matter the condition.

Have a customer needing around 3,000 LF of custom printed mesh/fence screen banner at 6' tall. We max out at 5' here, so looking for a good reputable vendor with a decent price point.

Here are my thoughts; 1. If you're getting it cheap, it's probably at worst going to be a good learning tool for you. Hopefully you've seen it print, and know the condition, etc. If you're buying a fixer-upper and don't know anything about solvent machines, save your money and buy new...

First check your drain lines to make sure they are clear and when you run a cleaning cycle that ink is being pulled from the head through both tubes. You may need to run some solvent through to get them clear, or in bad cases you may need to pull the lines and use something thin to physically...

Hmm, that must be something new - honestly I would still reach out to Phil. On the other hand, what did your dealer say?

Phil Johnson is a member here and is a sales Manager for Summa. Contact him directly, unless there is something outside the normal, I can't see why Summa won't help you with your new machine?

Can I ask a few simple questions? 1. Did you buy this machine new or used? If new, call Summa -they are great to deal with and will take care of you. 2. You are making sure the blade holder clamp is tightened all the way so that the blade holder isn't slipping up out of the clamp as the...

Yes, it handles pretty much all materials well. I will note, that for thicker and harder to cut materials we often switch to the 60 degree blade to aid in cutting. (Reflective, Phototex, extra heavy laminates, etc.) For floor graphics the textured laminate we use is no problem for the...

Plenty of videos on Youtube you can watch - other than Summa marketing videos.

Not any problems so far, and I don't foresee any either. We recently ran a print/cut job for a museum that required around 40+ sheets of 5' x 10' foam board and the machine never skipped a beat. We did add a table behind the machine to help it support the sheets since they were so long...

Have had our D-140 for nearly 7 years now - excellent machine for cutting vinyl and prints. The only thing I wish was that I had gotten the 160 version to be able to cut 60" rolls, as we do quite a few wraps and all the color change materials are 60".

Yes, you can strictly "shape cut" without using marks or barcodes. (we recently did ove 2,500 pieces of foam board roughly 3" x 5" for packaging inserts for another company) However, accuracy is going to rely on getting the sheet perfectly square - as such, I would recommend using 50" x 100"...
