Summa Cutter

[Rage Wraps]

Hey guys, I put this post up in the summa forum, but no response there. I am looking at buying this machine today and I need some advise fast. Summa Durasign T140 with OPOS. What are your opinions? How much is it worth? It has been sitting for 2 years. I got a big job and I need another cutter so I am looking for something fast.

I appreciate your advice, Phil

When it comes to cutters, Summa are at the top of the list.

I like them, I am just not familiar with that older model. It is the tan colored unit and was looking for some info. What are they worth used?

Call Summa. They have always been helpful. Bet they even have repair parts for that unit too.

I am a summa fan the model you are speaking about. If you are production oriented and want something that lasts a long time it goes in this order for me Graphtec, Summa, Roland. The T series is a tanginal blade meaning it spins and is very precise what its worth is hard question its no cheapy but at that age it has a resale value of around 1500 + it is the 54" model ? right ? could be upwards of 2k depends on where you are.

Be careful. Older summa tangential plotters sometimes have problems with a constant cutting depth because of the cutting head is worn-out. Buying a spare tangential cutting head could cost more than the value of the plotter. You can change this plotters to the much cheaper drag knife head, but in this case you need to replace the OPOS-Sensor too, what will cost additional money.
