How would you compare this to the Cutterpillar? (which I'm looking to purchase)

Sorry I haven't used the Cutterpillar. I love this cutter. You get a straight cut every time.

I've never used the Cutterpillar so I can't answer your question. I tried out the new CutterBug with the lighted cutting edge and I really liked that. I'm not sure if you can cut several pages at once with the CutterBug however... the CARL is hard to cut anything under 2" wide with accuracy, but it's great for cutting all weights of chipboard that's what I use my cutter for.

We have never used a Cutterpillar. But everyone is very happy with this cutter. Smooth, accurate...works great!

I tried to google CutterBug and can't find it. It keeps sending me to cuttlebug. Can you send me a link so I can check it out before I make a final desicion on what to buy? Thanks!

If you prefer to spend less time and achieve higher quality results and are willing to pay for it, Festool is the way to go. If you have a lot of time and / or wood working experience, you can definitely make great stuff with a biscuit cutter. For me, even as a casual enthusiast I am now thinking about getting the domino XL in addition to the standard domino. I am still amazed at the quality of the tool, ease of use, and the cool things you can build that would be difficult or impossible with a standard biscuit joiner

I am not familiar with your machine but I must say I could not in all good conscience recommend the cutter. Save your money.

well, unfortunately, i dunno the difference between the two. i own the 70711. it's been great except for the included blade, prolly should have gotten a new/better one at the start and leave the included one as spare. The only real complaint i have is the rotating table, and the 0 point on it is not equivalent between a rotation to the right and the rotation to the left. I had to learn where the 0 was when i turned it. This is a simple and efficient tool for cutting some items for small jobs. If you need "exacting" quality, i would look elsewhere. GREAT for the price. Would imagine a slightly "newer" model might be better? Sorry, cannot comment on the 70716.

I think you would be fine doing this. I ordered specialized cutters and they did not work as well as just cutting them myself. But I LOVE the machine... Hope this helps...

There seems to be no difference so go with price. Please note that neither model has a cutting blade, if that is important to you.

This is from another user and it is correct. DW735X 13" vs DW734 12.5" 22 days ago There are several differences. The 734 is a lower end machine that is like the Delta, Ridgid and several other similar models. It does have three cutters versus two for the other ones, which is a plus. It has a capacity that is 1/2 longer, which is a slight plus. It has a more efficient dust removal system which includes a fan to blow out the dust. It is an overall beefier machine that is designed for more of a semi-pro environment. It also has two feed speeds, which is nice for rough work and for finish work. For me, the biggest plus, and the deciding factor, was that I could buy professional quality carbide knives for the 735. Not that I cut so much wood, but carbide lasts forever and just works so much better than the disposable steel blades.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

I have never used a true helical cutter head so I cannot compare. But to the straight knife blades they are alot better. They are much quiter. The blades are 4 sided so when one side dulls it is super easy to rotate the blade. I can rotate all the blades in about 10 minutes. You will notice very small lines in the wood from the knives, but are very easily sanded out. When I plane my wood I only remove 1/32 at a time and with that I do not have problems with tearout. I have planed hundreds of boardbfeet of oak, hard maple, soft maple, cherry, rustic alder, rustic cherry, hickory, walnut, and mohagony with no problems. This is the best portable planer I have used.

This is a very good clipper. It will depend on the blade that you purchase. If you get a skip tooth, it will go through coarse hair better than the FC type which stands for Finished Cut and will still look nice. So just read the description on how long the blades will leave the hair to make your decision on what blade to purchase.

Sorry, can't compare because I've not tried Niterider. But I'm pleased with my Cygolite and doubt the Niterider would beat it by any significant margin.

I have no scientific data for you, but I would deem this a "light duty" cutter. I've cut a couple of sheets worth at a time, but the more you add, the more I would expect pages to 'drift' and not be cut accurately. I'd recommend no more that 1-3 sheets at most. If you need to do a lot of mass cutting, I'd pass on this and go with something more substantial.

I've had my cutter since late January and I use it for making cards so far its done vey well! I have also used it to cut chip board and it's still a very clean cut! I hope this helps you in your decision !

Although the motor and cutters are the same, there is considerable difference in the machines. The 40200 is heavier and stronger. It comes with stainless steel in and out feed trays. It has a wheel on the side for adjustment rather than a crank on top. It has a snipe lock which works well. I am very pleased with mine and am happy I decided to go with the more expensive model.

Thanks! Exactly what I needed to know. Was debating between this and the half-moon edger.

For all answers regarding this software you can go to www.uscutter.com I looked on the package and it didn't say. I found I don't use it since the software that came with my Silhouette does what I need it to do. Wasted my money. May not be the case for you if you have a different cutter.

In my opinion the Ridge Runner is a better product. I like to have an edge that will last. I can sharpen now if needed and not wear myself out in the process.
