Some product literature has specs, I found them difficult to compare machine
to machine, there did not seem to be a universal standard for repeatability
and resolution. But, this is one reason why US Cutter did not recommend its
least expensive line.
Again, this is some info you can get from US Cutter on the individual
machines, if you want to deal with them, and of course helpful if we can get
information here.

Does anyone have any specs on these vinyl cutter? Can they do 10 mil lines
repeatedly and reliability?
