I recently purchased a cameo 3 based on what I read on this topic. I have been playing with it making paint mask prior to actually using it on a playfield. The accuracy of the cutting has me amazed. It has exceeded my expectations. My only complaint is that it is limited by the size of the media that can be cut. If I thought that I would be getting into this on a larger scale such as stencils for cabinet restoration ,I would definitely consider one that could cut larger media.
