Since I've only been here for 2 days now, you may not recognize my ID. I am the one that asked how old the Roland Cutter could be. Well, I bought it and now I have 48 hours to change my mind and get my money back.
It is a 24" cutter. It's a PNC 1210, but it accepts 30" material. With it comes the stand, books, Roland CD, 1 large roll of econo-print, 15 3.5 disks of "Great Notions" embroidery designs (don't have a clue), some information on Stahls products and a few Jet-Trans Iron on transfers. The machine does look to be in excellent shape, the two of the rollers on the stand still have little stickers on them, and the parallel cable, oh, and the original box. The manual and CD both have 1997 on them. We paid $1500.00 for this, is this too much? We originally thought it was a 30" cutter.

I haven't found the alignment tool that the book says I'm supposed to have, is there a place on the machine to store it? Right now we have it sitting in one of our warmer room warming up. I had to haul it in the back of my truck about 25 miles home and the temp outside is about 25 degrees F. Soon as it warms up I will roll it into our home/office and plug it in.

I wanted to add, and I'm sure anyone with knowledge of cutters knows, it IS a CAMM-1 PRO series

Thanks for any info you can share.

Mine does not have an alignment tool unless you are referring to the 2 rings that slip over the material holding bar to keep the roll of vinyl in line. I found them almost useless and never use them.

I felt that the instruction book could have been better written. Here are my pressure / speed settings.

Pen: 35 cm/s, 0 offset, 70 gf
HP vinyl: 85cm/s, .250mm offset, 120 gf
masking vinyl & intermediates: 85cm/s, .250mm, offset 130 gf
Sandblast rubber & reflectives: 15cm/s, .250 offset, 260 gf

The double row of white lines is what you use to line up your media. Take your time here and line it up very carefully and you should get good tracking. Use the right blade for each type of media.

Hope this helps.
