Looking for a good stencil cutter, anybody using anything they like?
 
Have a US Cutter Titan 3. Does a great job on stencils & masks. Also excellent for signage, HTV for shirts & sand blast masks, all of which add to the revenue stream...

Have the same. How small you can go with it? I mean smallest possible cutting size. Haven't tried cutting that "smallest size" myself. It seems, you have used it for a while and could answer the question.
What angle of the blade do you prefer?

A little more than I want to spend. Looking to spend around $250,
 
I generally have the 60 degree in place. I've cut small enough to do lettering on Zippo lighters. I keep the speed fairly slow. I have some pictures on the ipad but it won't let me upload them. Email me & I can send you a few examples...

Keep in mind the big bonus to that cameo, I would think, would be the software that comes with it. The guys that have it seem to like the software as well.
When they say the trace (vectorize) feature works really well that keys me in , as the trace features in even in high end design software arent all that great.

I'm not a fan of the little home hobby cutters myself but I also understand being on a budget.
Roland and graphtec are sweet if you can afford them. US cutter is just rebranded graphtec so im sure theyre nice too.

Thanx! Will contact.
I've bought 60 degree blades for many many years. Over 50 of them, I think. Don't even remember:) And blade holders for any media used, for not to setup one every time.

I don't think US Cutter is rebranded Graphtec:) Though I could buy Graphtec 15" locally for the price I've paid for Titan3 shipped from the US (with some films), I've chosen USC for the reason of much better characteristics. I came to local company selling Graphtec and Silouette here to have a glance at those products and decided to buy one from USC.
Program that comes with USC is good, at least it suits me and for the start I don't need anything else. I can make a project in vector in CorelDraw if vectorizing of VinylMaster wouldn't suit me, then import file to VinylMaster.
 
The Titan series from USC are rebranded Segas. The software I have is Razor Cut and it's very easy and the trace function works great. I went with USC because of their quick shipping and excellent customer service and product selection. My only regret would be the 15" size. Over the years, I have had occasion to "need" a wider cutter. The 15" will handle my needs, the wider model would have made life easier. If I had the space, I would probably get a 2nd cutter, but for now, life is good...

They're also Secabo

USC started selling new line of Titans. Can't say there are much improvements in new models.
 
Which plotter can you buy to find a image on the web and make a stincel from it? That's the main thing I want to do with it. Thanks

It's not a plotter that makes a stencil from the reference, but the program. Some programs for plotters include that feature, you can do that in Corel Draw (it will be vectorized, as it's vector program). I believe you can make that in other programs, then export the file to a program that will vectorize your picture for cutting.
 
I have the Cameo 2 and I get my images from google and then use the software that came with it (Studio) and manipulate and trace for cutting. I can do alot of things that I need ....
There is a Cameo 3 now, and the 2's are getting sold at great prices as they do not make it anymore. There is not too much that I would use if I had the 3...
And for $100 or more difference in price, it works great..
I would stay away from a used unit. There is the feed wheels, cutting strip, head, and even the blade and pen holder that wear...

I guess I need to get the one with the best software, is there a free trial on the software to see how it works? Thanks
