    Hello,,, I’m not new to the trade, I have been making signs for 7yrs now, I use roaland machines @ work, and to be fair thay work bang on,
    I thought it was a good idea to try a bit myself, and bought a pcut cb730,, up to now I’m regretting it, I have Inkscape and sign cut, I do use signlab 8 @ work, but the problem I have is,,, offset? It dose cut ok sometimes but, wen I do a test cut it dose not compleat the object, and when cutting with sign cut the same I have tyred a few things but no look, @ work I ring cad link and thay help out fair play to them
    So starting out with a Chinese thing, a little help from the good pepelo here,
    There’s no of what I read over cut setting in sign cut, only off set and playing around with them make things worse, so I’m thinking it the plotter?? It only seems to miss on the (X) is,,

    I’m thinking the manufacture isn’t going to be losing sleep overt me,,,
    I have made my way to the advanced menu and (X) is set to 2000 and (Y) is as well ? Is that anything to do with it? Thanks in advance if anybody can
    Help, 🙂

    And sorry if my spelling is bad, lol

    It looks like it could be a useful tool to have if it comes with a decent price. Should make fitting a kitchen sink a breeze!

    What I’d like to know, why does ShopBot need to look for social funding of only US$ 125k to kickstart this project? I mean, they are not "that" small? (Look at the number of people involved in this project alone. Not like they are a 1 or 2 man business) Heck, if each of the employees responsible for this tool contributed just $20k, they could have financed it "inhouse" With the added benefit that the people who design and make it, have a vested interest in the project.
