Is anyone using Cambam http://www.cambam.info/. I have been considering using Vectric's Cut3D. Someone recommended this package instead, but I can't find much information on it. It seems...

Hi James,

I certainly am not promoting Corel Draw, BUT, if you do anything with sign shops, it seems to be the defacto standard.

My only other advice is this. Try demos of cad programs and...

When I purchased my 48 by 96 machine I was going to have Shopbot deliver it and found out what the charges were and looked into arranging to have it picked up through a local shipping company who...

I have my 4 by 8 PRT96 in an 11 by 22 foot garage with a 9' door at the x 0 end. The other end had a man door swinging in. I changed the man door to swing out, gave myself 30" on that end and 24"...

It's nice to be able to have a starting point when using new material, especially aluminium (aluminum) which I have satyed away from.

Thanks for the advice!

Dibond!

What is it like to cut? Does it require compressed air spray or a liquid lubricant to cut the stuff? Any feed / speed ideas for a PRT with a 3 1/4hp router? What type of bits? Any...

Whiteside VS Onsrud on a PC Router

I have always used Onsrud bits for everything, but due to the slowness of my PRT96 machine there is no way that I can get the chipload that they recommend.

Full cut through 3/4" mdf in one pass

I have used a 1 1/2 degree tapered 1/4" shaft cutter with a 1/8" ball nose from MSC to cut mdf in one pass - it really works. I got the info here on the...

Great UNFOUNDED Expectations!

I had them and I suspect that there are many out there that have them. I don't mean exitement about buying something that you understand the workings of, that's...

Robert,

I'm sorry that you are having such a hard time. It happens! I had a similar history with my first machine. I thought that I'd just "hit a couple of buttons" and have all of these parts....

Hi Matthew,

I've been using this for holding everything from 3/4" mdo to 1/8" pvc pieces 1/4" wide. It holds incredibly well and leaves no residue. In the U.S. it should sell wholesale for...

Hey I wasn't paying attention!

If I remember correctly if the same units are run in parallel there is no increase in vacuum pull but there is a proportionate increase in cubic feet per minute...

Hi Simon,

I haven't used large shop type vacs for vacuum hold down but I do use two in series for dust collection. From what I read, the mechanics of this are: if you use two identical vacuum...

Hi Eric,

I buy my Onsrud bits from a distributor that tells me that spirals and compression bits can't be resharpened. The last time that I talked to Onsrud they said these bits could be...

I have found that for cutting out parts it is a very simple matter to calculate a cost per inch of cutting. Obviously there are differences for cutting different materials due to material type and...

WOW,

Thanks Bill!

Hi Dan / Scott,

Yes Dan, as Scott says it does generate native .sbp code.

I understand that there have been some major improvements and enhancements since I stopped using v1.7. The reason...

I may have solved one of the problems that I've had. I originally had a dealer create a small 8 by 11 file with a square outline and the dealer name and engravelab text at the top and bottom. The...

Thanks for the input. I don't know if you have downloaded them yet, but there are 2 required files on the ShopBot site under downloads / drivers. One is a .dll file and the other is an ini file.

RAMS 3D Enterprise edition v1.7

I used this for quite a while for doing vcarving and raised lettering.

Wow Ed,

I've seen a lot of lawn deer and stuff but nothing as elaborate or classy as this. I too would love to receive the files.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Brady,

Some sign guys use this and some don't but it is definitely encouraging thinking that you can get these prices. The prices that I am referring to are the end user prices for signs of...
