Its a cheap stepper motor plotter.  In short, noisy, less accurate and they tend to glitch out with any kind of static or no apparent reason at times.  I have seen these on numerous occasions cut a diagonal line across a pattern ruining a lot of film.  They also have terrible tracking which is real bad for ppf cutting.  It will work for what you want to do with it but you will have to find the quarks and learn to work around them.  A better direction would be to find a quality used machine.  Better rollers, tracking, cutting strip, motors, accuracy and software communication.  Roland, graphtec, ioline, omega, summa, mimaki, and even gcc are a few to look for.  You can get a quality gcc knock off pretty cheap that will work just as well as the real deal.
