The throat size is too small. Like I've said before polymetal just barely fits in it and you have to be very careful to avoid scratches. Coro will not fit or anything much larger than 3mm. It is just irritating to have this wonderful machine and not be able to use it on more materials. I think I can modify it to make it larger, but I haven't had time to try.
The die needs to have some sort of fastening device. Almost everytime I pick it up I forget that and the die falls out.
If you take your time to properly seat the material it does a heck of a job though. I have the 1" radius die which is great for larger
signs. That large of radius looks a bit odd on something like a 12x24 magnetic, but no one has complained yet.
But like I said, I am real glad I have it and it is 1000% better than that Lassco we paid $150 for. It was built like a thin, tin cigar box with a plastic top. The accucutter is made from a piece of extruded aluminum that has been machined as well as the other machined parts that make up the balance of the machine.
On the accucutter is the cm40a heavy enough for 4 ml dibond? And magnetic sheeting?
Trakkers, what annoyances do you have with it?
