    I’ve the chance of buying a Graphtec 3100-60a. Just wondering if anybody had anything to say about this cutter?

    Also, to be prepared, anybody know where I can get it serviced, repair and spare parts from? Just as a precaution.

    Cheers Mark :lol1:

    The Graphtecs seem to get a lot of thumbs up from members here ….. we are thinking about one at the moment …… descisions, descisions?

    Everyday of the week there are 20-30 Secabo, Creation, Dingtec, Dingbat cutters on eBay- I don’t know why I never see anyone bid on these. However, as soon as you get a Graphtec, Roland, Mutoh, Mimaki, Summa etc. used plotter for sale a bidding war breaks out and they sell for more than these other brands even when they are 4-5 years old.

    Graphtec are excellent plotters – I can’t recall a single bad model.

    I have a Graphtec 3100 – 60, 6 years old, and is used daily. I had mine serviced by Graphtec several months ago and the engineer said its probably good for another 6 years, it certainly cutting as good as it ever has. If its the right price for you then buy it.

    Thanks all for your replies, great help!!!!!!! :lol1:

    Macky D, I was told yesterday to stay away from the pcuts and secabos on ebay, they’re not all that good. Their was someone selling one the other day, he said he only had it for 2 months, but is now upgrading due to sale. I can’t see this somehow. 😕
