CE5000-40A aka Craft Robo Pro
Hi all,
I’ve been looking at adding vinyl in house to our existing small sign business, after initially reading up on the Chinese cutters and deciding that wasn’t the direction I wanted to go in i’ve now come across the CE5000-40A and it seems to share the same spec as the rest of the 5000 series (Magic Touch seem to rate the 5000’s) and after a little discussion one of our suppliers has offered us an ex demo unit with minimal use well below RRP. I’d obviously prefer to get a Roland GX24 but for the volume of business we’ll be doing on this i’m quite tempted as it should pay back pretty quickly.
Anything else I should consider before going ahead ?
Thanks 🙂

Hi Alex,
My wife has a Craft Robo. Not sure what a ‘pro’ version is, my wife’s is a craft robo II. Strictly a scrapbooking machine I’d reckon.
Very slow, although it is amazing for its size.
I’d be looking at a good secondhand ‘real’ cutter if you can’t afford a new one. Buy from a dealer with warranty, and you should do Ok.

I think the 5000-40 is the baby brother of the 5000-60 but with a 400mm cutting width rather than 600mm. Same servo motor, same looking control panel. Only differences I can see from a glance is the absence of a stand and the cutting width.
