i found the blade dedth had to be adjusted by winding the blade out manually. very time consuming if you change vinyl often.
to be honest its a toy.
cutting vinyl can earn you good money.
spend the most you can afford on a cutter. the easlier to use and faster it`ll cut, the more work it will turn out.
when i wanted a 12inch cutter to farm some work out, in bought this stikka, cost me £250. unpacked it, put some vinyl in it, cut, then packed it up and sent it back and ordered a £1200 roland…..i don`t like spending money, but i don`t like wasting time more.
the roland is still going strong, the stikka would have been smashed to bits with a cricket bat by now..
just my thoughts

We tried to start the same way, we thought the Stikka would be ideal to start small. One problem, it’s too small!!! Too small to do anything bigger than a label. Same goes for us we used it once then went and ordered £1500 Graphtec.
Sorry to be blunt but I really think your money is better spent getting hold of a 610 cutter or bigger. Even if you can stretch to a second hand machine it would be well worth it and make you far more money.
Cheers
