Thanks Brady. Kind of suspected the h v-rollers. Will check them and adjust.

Have a PRT4896 and the Y has developed some binding making it harder to push than normal. It could be related to the rails, v-rollers, etc., but if anyone has had similar issues and what you did to...

Thanks for the info. How did the client (or you) make these letters UV stable for outdoor use? How were they prepped prior to painting?

On the 2" letters, how did you use a Onsrud 65-025 1/4" Solid Carbide One Flute Upcut Super O Flute when it only has a cutting edge length of 7/8"?

Tom,

Nice job on the letters.

What bit did you use for these? Been wanting to try some metallic faced letters, but have ? about how to glue the substrates together and if they glue will gum...

Fellers doesn't carry this material. Here is a link to the material I get from Kapco. It is rather expensive, but when mounting items that must remain perfectly clear this is the best solution.

They make an optically clear mounting adhesive specifically for face mounting digital prints to clear acrylic. I have used it to mount 4'x8' face mounted graphics and it works beautifully. The only...

I just cut 30 YIELD signs and 14 STOP signs from 4mm coroplast. I tried using a straight bit (1/8") and it still left the infamous 'tails' from the flutes. So I decided to try a smaller bit (1/16")...

Tom,

Cool pneumatics! Do you have the part number of the control unit from surplus center. Can't seem to find it on their site.

Thx
Mike

I have cut alot of small gatorfoam letters, however most have been without vinyl applied because I paint them afterwards.
I have tried many a bit and the only one I found that cuts gator well and...

Bruce,

If you still have this file in beta, would love to try it.

Thanks

Thanks for the great suggestions. I will let you know how it turns out with some pics once they are finished.

Joe, your probably correct in the color. After looking at it, it is not the best choice. So I may just go with Dibond.

Re install, these will go up on a wall (drywall). I haven't done these...

Since they will be within arms reach of students I need something that can withstand some abuse and of course washing.

I am thinking that since expanded PVC comes in dark green and 1/2" I could...

I have 5 fairly large indoor cut outs that need to be routed then mounted to the interior walls. These include 2 logos and various sized letters that make up a string of words in different locations....

Bryson & Joe,

Thanks for your quick response. Even though I have had my bot for a couple of years I only cut signs that I have printed on PVC, acrylic or gatorboard. I don't cut letters or rout...

I have a bunch of letters I cut from 3/16" gatorboard that need to be painted a dark green. I purchased a can of matte green paint from local hardware store and painted a few to see how they would...

I have an Epilog Helix 45W. Bed size is 18 x 24. I have had it for 3 months and most of the work I do is plexi for sign shops that want a finished edge. I have also used it to cut small parts for...

Brady,

Thanks for the file. Your entirely correct; I could've either found them or drew them, but we had so many projects going on and this customer wants them tomorrow, I didn't get a chance to...

Emily,

I have a laser machine that could do those pieces for you. I am located in Chicago, so shipping would be minimal. I agree with Ed, that $35 is a little high if everything is set up.
...

Does anyone have a template for those large ceremonial scissors? Around 3ft in length would be perfect. Doesn't need to cut, just look like a pair of scissors.

Here is a front pic, but not of the 'M', you can see how sharp the corners are with this pic especially of the 'a'. The letters are indeed 1" black gatorboard with a brushed gold polyester foil, and...

I called Scott Signs and it appears that the letters were done by them. They charge $7/letter, plus $.60 per letter for spacing tape to align letters on wall.
Asked how these are cut and they said...

Here is a photo of some letters at one of my clients locations. They are made from 1" gatorboard with a gold polyester foil on the face. My customer wants me to produce more of these letters.
...

Raymond,

Would it be possible to post a copy of the ArtCam Pro file you used for this sign? I'd like to see how the sandblasted photo was digitized.

Thanks

Mike
