Is a Summa T750 SL still worth it today?

[Terry W]

I have a chance to pick up a Summa T750 SL for cheap. Would it still be worth getting? I mainly cut thicker sandblast mask but not very long. Maybe 48".


I have a Graphtec and do mainly etched glass right now. It would be nice to have 1 machine with a thinner blast mask and one with a thicker one.

What cutting software would I need? I design in Corel and cut with the qraphtec bridge software. Does Summa have a bridge program for that machine? Any major things to look for?

Thanks for any information.

Hi Terry,

You would need to use Winplot with the older SummaSign machines, and it's important to note that replacement parts like mainboards, belts, motors, etc. are no longer available for that machine, so if it were to have any issues, there would be no way to remedy those. We(Airmark) might have some replacement cutting heads available(low inventory on those), and we also have blades, blade holders, pinch rollers, etc. if you need them. If you can snag it for cheap, might be worth pursuing if the cutter is operational.

Best regards,

That's exactly the info I was looking for.

I have one too. Summa makes the best cutters, IMO.
