Vevor vinyl cutters have a major flaw, I know I have owned two. I put up a negative review about them on the vevr website but it appears they only post positive reviews. The pinch rollers dig into the vinyl leaving marks. Its fine if its a small piece as you only use the pinch rollers on the edge. But if its more than say 15" you need the middle pinch roller so it does not track skewed. You can see it right in the video where he is printing his company logo!! What good is it if you have a large cutter but realistically can't cut mre than a foodt wode without the vinyl being damaged? The price may be enticing but you get what you pay for!! O
Yes that would be hard to believe... although they use Roland compatible holders and svg format. You're mainly paying more for tighter fiducial registration (and auto mark sensing) I notice it most cutting arms images printed using a 2 step offset. I've had to shim the mark sensors due to skewing which decreases proportionally in reference to the origin. Cutting vinyl of course you wouldn't mark sensing and I turn off fiducials to get less waste. I also have also replaced the stock Nema 17s with 0.9deg resolution steppers (Did the same on my k40 laser. But it only works if the software allows custom scaling or modify the arms header.
Try US Cutter for vinyl. I've been using Starcraft HD but recently started using Oracal 651. I've also been using Greenstar and TransferRite transfer tapes. Oracal 651 and Greenstar medium tack tape are my favorites.
Personally, I'm very happy with the Silhouette Portrait 3 I just grabbed for a bargain. Print and cut, has decent cut depth, and I can fit most designs on the cutsheets, diagonally if neccesary. Printsheets are consumables anyway.. Silhouette Studio is also much more indepth than the stuff Cricut offers, especially when you do the "designer" upgrade. Noty strictly neccesary, but mopst people aren't really used to using inkscape as their main design software. Cricut is missing a huge chunk of the market by not integrating print and cut capability into their products..
@@IanNubbit Not when I made the comment. It might have changed. Don't really keep up with video's I already commented on.. Thanks for the heads-up though!
I really liked your review! I restore old bicycles as a hobby and need to be able to take pictures of decals, upload them and draw them to make new decals. Currently I have a Roland Stika 15 using cut studio. Will the software with this vevor machine allow me to do the same thing? The Roland is a PIA because it does not seem to work well with Windows 10 or 11.
Very cool! I have cut quite a few fiori decals for some of my vintage road bike builds. I’m not sure if there’s a bitmap to vector function in the software that’s included but you can probably keep using the software you’ve been using and send it directly to the machine after installing the drivers!
I just snagged a US Cutter 721 MK2 used for $80 (new it's $350-$400 USD) it's the exact same thing. I wonder who actually makes them because I bet it's a lot cheaper than the $400 we're being charged.
It should be able to. Worst case scenario is you’d need a second pass. In the past when I’ve done the thicker sandblast stencil rubber and even super thick reflective materials I would switch my blade out for a sharper angled one with a longer cutting edge.
I have a Vevor 53” vinyl cutter but i am unable to find vinyl rolls to match the length of my machine. Where can I purchase permanent adhesive vinyl rolls?
do you have video showing how you made those decals? I'm very new to this, and that's the only reason i bought it in first place. And right now, It'll only cut text or the stock images in the software. not much to choose from there. I'm starting to think I made really big mistake buying this thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hey! Do you think this plotter could potentially cut paper? Like 60-120gsm? I am aware it doesn’t cut through the backing of vinyl but was just wondering if it’s a possibility?
Yes! If you set the pressure high enough it will cut right through the backing paper on the vinyl. I’d grad some extra blades tho as they’ll dull super quick
Theoretically endless. There may be a software limitation but it’s probably up in the 10-20 meter range. Highly recommend the vevor cutters, loving mine!
Hey man! How’d you get your image to print on the machine without having to vectorise it in the software? Or did you have the pro version of the software?
I see the pich rollers chew up the material where you were printing your logo. The center pinch roller then will leave marks making cutting any material useless?
Thanks for review - purchased one of these machines and trying to get extra holders but cant find what the knife holder type is that fits the machine - do you have any idea of this part info?
Really depends on what you’re planning to make. Sheet goods for sign making like dibond and coroplast come in 48x96 inch sheets so in that case a machine 48 inches up is good. For things like car decals and window tinting a 32” machine would probably work. For Small stickers and decals 24 and smaller works! Let me know if that helps!
I don’t think the print and cut is an issue. Cricuts print and cut isn’t that great especially for glossy/ holographic stickers. Cricut is more versatile and multifaceted but if you are only doing vinvl and sticker sheets I think this is a good machine.
Awesome video review. I am doing a bunch of standoff signs out of letters I cut on my cnc. Wondering if there is a limit on how long the paper/vinyl can be. My standoff sign is about 6 feet long …
What software would you suggest for the Vevor Vinyl Cutter? I've never gotten one and really want to get one. Edit: I commented half-way through the video. just saw it comes with a basic software lol. I'll look up machines with a Print-then-cut function
Looking to get a machine to print not only decals but colored, photo stickers. Could this machine achieve such task? New to this stuff. Keep up the great work! You have a new follower!
Took me a while to figure out your Canadian pronunciation of "decal", but otherwise, thanks. Also you lost some credibility with the Prusa hate. I agree that Bambu printers are technically better, but open source is the most important feature for me, so Prusa wins there.

Hard to believe that other cutting machines at 2-10x the price have only better rollers. :)

The Oracal is 2.5 mm thickness but the website for this unit say 1 mm thickness max. Have you had any trouble with cutting?
Great video. Very helpful.
Does it come with some software or I need to organize my own? Can you recommend any free software if it is available?
I don't have one nor plan on buying one--or um am I now? great video, relaxing voice
You can cut backing in you stickers on vevor cutters there's software for that i have seen on UA-cam

What machine do they use commercially to make stickers that you don’t have to clean up after made???

I see the Vevor 53" cutter for sale for $350. I for sure need at least 3 feet, so a bit over 4 feet seems nice.
Great review! Can this machine cut sandblast stencils? Have you tried this?
It should be able to. Worst case scenario is you’d need a second pass. In the past when I’ve done the thicker sandblast stencil rubber and even super thick reflective materials I would switch my blade out for a sharper angled one with a longer cutting edge.
where do you get deckull out of decal its literally d-cal.

what is the clear stuff that u peel off at the end of installation called? thanks
Transfer tape / premask. i recomend getting the cheaper paper backed stuff as it releases easier after applying!
@@WildRoseBuilds Thanks I'm about as green as a blade of grass. STEEP LEARNING CURVE FOR ME. Appreciate you.
What pressure and speed do you use for htv and for sticker vinyl?

Can you go unlimited length in size?
Nice work Great details
Thank you! Cheers!
WHICH MONITOR OR PORTABLE LAPTOP, DO PERSONALLY RECOMMEND, FOR BEGINNERS, SIR??...
Can i make stencils for graffiti with this or other vinyl cutters?
Yes
Just got mine. Thanks for the intro
what speed and pressure do you use?
How long vinyl i can put in????
1 meter,2???
I want buy Vevor 720mm
Theoretically endless. There may be a software limitation but it’s probably up in the 10-20 meter range. Highly recommend the vevor cutters, loving mine!
Thanks for a great review!
Hey man!
How’d you get your image to print on the machine without having to vectorise it in the software? Or did you have the pro version of the software?
I vectorized all my designs in illustrator prior to importing them. There’s a free tool called Inkscape I believe that can do it too
I see the pich rollers chew up the material where you were printing your logo. The center pinch roller then will leave marks making cutting any material useless?
Can you cut car tint paper with this machine?
Yep! I would opt for the larger machine tho!
Thanks for review - purchased one of these machines and trying to get extra holders but cant find what the knife holder type is that fits the machine - do you have any idea of this part info?
Try roland cutter blade, all chinese website is full of that, it works for me
Super cool machine!
Can you do shirts too?
How long vinyl i can put in? it is with servo motor ?
this one uses stepper motors, and in theory as long as you can keep the vinyl aligned you should be able to cut very long pieces.
Will it cut magnet?
might take a couple passes but it should!
for that price, the Vevor Vinyl Cutters are very good and are definitely worth the purchase.
for hobby or for small home businesses
LOL! "Show me on this doll where Prusa touched you."
In the wallet 🥲
has anyone used these for window tinting?
What size cutter is best to have?
Really depends on what you’re planning to make. Sheet goods for sign making like dibond and coroplast come in 48x96 inch sheets so in that case a machine 48 inches up is good.

can this machine work with windows 11 please?
Should be able to but can’t confirm
Is this the 28 or 34 inch?
Does this work with Windows 11? I read the product description but it seems like it only works until windows 10?
Yes it does I run sign master 5 in windows 11
Thank you sir!
You're welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Does this have colored pens? How do you print color?
This is not a printer It’s a cutter/ plotter
Vevor support said vinyl no thicker than 1mm. I assume you are using thicker than 1mm?
Nope! Most vinyl like this is quite thin, fractions of a mm. The thicker vinyls are usually for specialty applications.
@@WildRoseBuilds oracal states 2.5mm+ for standard 651 stuff. Are they including backing in that measurement?
I don’t think the print and cut is an issue. Cricuts print and cut isn’t that great especially for glossy/ holographic stickers. Cricut is more versatile and multifaceted but if you are only doing vinvl and sticker sheets I think this is a good machine.
My brother has a cricut and he said the same thing when I asked about it
So your machine is now a P1Pee.
That is correct
@@WildRoseBuildsso gay...
Am I the only one that noticed that the window sticker had a jagged edge on the arc over the top and was applied crooked?
Awesome video review. I am doing a bunch of standoff signs out of letters I cut on my cnc. Wondering if there is a limit on how long the paper/vinyl can be. My standoff sign is about 6 feet long …
Im gonna need you when I get mine, if that's okay dearest.
