1. You posted in the wrong forum category to attract the attention of people who use cutters. I've moved your topic.
2. Only a minority of Inkscape users use cutters, and I suspect only a subset of those use it with the specific one you've referred to. So your audience is limited.
3. It almost seems like people join this forum to ask questions without offering their own time to answer any. That seems pretty selfish, don't you agree?

@microUgly:
Off topic:
Seems it's time to refresh the competition section to get newcomers to stay for longer than one answered topic in the help section.

Here is how to set up the cutter:

Here is the manual to signcut:
http://www.signcutpro.com/files/pdf/startup_guide.pdf
Which says:
signcut wrote:...How to load and cut a job
Open the file you wish to cut out in SignCut, either by choosing ‘File’ and ‘Open’, or by
using an export plugin with your design software. The export plugins are usually named
'Send to SignCut'
Inkscape: Look on the top toolbar and go to Extensions/Export/Send to Signcut...

So you should have a "send to signcut.py" and a "send to signcut.inx", that you have to paste into the inkscape>share>extensions folder,
then if you open the file in inkscape that you would like to plot, run the extension "send to signcut".
