Craft ROBO: Anyone have any experience with them?
Posted by Gav on November 4, 2005 at 12:16 amI saw one of these machines for sale quite cheap and i was wondering if they are any good. It wouldnt be used for anything exhaustive. Mainly small (200mmx40mm) stickers.
Is it worth a purchase?
TIA

where’s that paul meadows ? he uses one quite successfully, i think it comes quite well reccomended for a cutter of it’s size, i was considering one for my lad who’s always trying to cut stuff on the bigger machine, that way i could have him earning while he’s learning ! errr… like me !

I’m here Hugh, got locked out for a spell??? what you up to in that avatar?
No don’t answer that!!! Gav, buy it mate, works a treat.Paul

Took it from the box…read a bit……and produced !
Can;t say more than that..great Toy and ideal for learning.
Not Man enough for most things but i’m sure you could cover it;s costs =fairly quickly.
Make sure you don;t do what i did…..cut to deep and bugger the cutting strip…ah well should have read more of the instructions 🙂 -
I’ve got a craft robo and can tell you that it’s great for cutting small detailed letters, it also cuts flock material for t shirts without having to buy a special blade. I have’nt used it for stickers but I’m sure it would be fine.

they are only a few hundred quid brand new, yes i would say they are more than worth their money, as long as used for what they are intended. 😀

Hi Gav
If you stay near me I could let you see the ROBO working email me on (mod-edit) -
I was’nt trying to make a sale, I thought if Gav lived close enough he may want to see it working before he bought one from elsewhere that is why I gave my email address.

So what can actually be achieved with a robo please?

I’d like to take you up on the offer of seeing your craft robo in action. I have been toying with the idea of getting one, mainly for small decals and signs that are a pain to weed with cut vinyl.
I am in Clydebank.

hi Ive got one and it can kiss cut a perfect circle down to 10mm which is excellent could perhaps go smaller but I dont need it to. Anything bigger is done with ease and reasonably quick

That would be no problem Bob I am in Bishopbriggs, if you wanted you could pop along on Sunday afternoon and I’ll set it up. The only problem is that If I put my email. phone number or address it will be mod edited perhaps Rob will pass you my phone number

Robert,
Any chance of you posting some photos of what you can do with the craft robo please?
regards

Sorry Andrew I’ve only cut flock for T shirts so I don’t have much to show.

Right i took the plunge and got meeself one of these. Quite a nifty little machine. At the moment i am just looking for something to get me into the swing of things and this seems to fit the bill.
Now all i need to do is work out how to use Illustrator and Corel. 🙂
