Find someone with a laser. 1/4 inch Baltic Birch cuts real well and clean. Much faster than what you are doing. Just because you have a hammer not everything is a nail.

Thank you for the post. I even got to see myself and some of my pieces in the photos. Great memories. Thanks again.

Which Romark are you using? They make a laser and a rotary engrave type of plastic. Sometimes the bot is not the right tool for the job. You might want to sub out the job to a shop that has...

I would join the HDU first with gorilla glue then cut the sign by indexing. Do not end or begin the indexed cut at the joint and you will never see the joint. I do this all the time with a 4x8 table....

When I make a sign like that, I cut out the shape I need in metal (prepared for sublimation) and sublimate the image onto the metal plate. Then I make a recess in the main sign to receive the metal...

I am at a loss as to why you would want a wooden face plate. Looking at your grain direction, I can see the area around the screw holes breaking off on even the slightest uneven surface. I would not...

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the skeleton file from Buzz Bernard at laserbuzz? I think you might want to check with him before you sell the file but last time I checked it was free on...

When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Find someone with a laser and get it done right. You will save time and money. Your customer will thank you.

Good luck

I beleive your problem is how you have your tool parameters setup. I don't remember which it is but if you have your feed set to inches per second change it to inches per minute or vice...

I got mine on Thursday. Great upgrade and even better 3d files.

This stuff cuts really well but I found that by running a putty knife along the bottom edge you will see a thin wire edge just peel away leaving a nice clean but not sharp edge.

Many years ago a guy that worked for me had 5 sons. As each son came of age the father brought the wood block in for me to cut as he did not have tools at home. He then brought the axels and wheels...

You guys seem awful old to be in the boy scouts. Oh! you're not in the boy scouts. I could be wrong but isn't this supposed to be a project completed by the scout himself. What are you teaching the...

In my area red oak is commonly seen burning in fireplaces and the many sawmills sell it for about $1.00 a board foot.

Good luck

First let me say HDU is not very strong just swinging in the wind especially not a sign as large as you are making. For smaller signs than yours I drill a hole larger than the eyebolt then hog out...

I should have mentioned in my last post but when cutting small pieces from polymetal I leave tabs .0625 thick and the pieces don't move, then the tabs can be cut cleanly with a utility knife.

I cut polymetal very often for a sign shop that I do work for. It cuts really well and the shopbot cuts cleaner than a waterjet that someone locally uses at times.

I am planning on coming. Look forward to seeing you all ( not Ya'll ).

The show sounds exactly like a show that I was featured on the local cable channel a fews years ago called "she's crafty". The show is still being aired and I can't tell you how many times...

The way I cut similiar boxes is to pocket all of the boxes out then profile the boxes to a depth of a little thicker than an onion skin then run the "board" through the drum sander...

I would have cut the relief and then cutout the 2" opening from the back and not need to flip the piece at all.

Gary

I'll be there as well. Bob I didn't know that you moved to the big city.
I am sure as the date gets closer we can find a place and time to meet.

See you all then
Gary

I have both a laser and a shopbot and yes they compliment each other very well. If the only thing you want to do with the bot is make blanks for lasering save your money. You cannot compete in that...

We heard about her story about american made last month. In our gallery we tell everyone that absolutely everything is americam made and nothing is imported from anywhere. We started a big...

Well before you know it the holidays will pass and it will be time for the Atlanta area Shopbot Camp. Or will it? Is there any interest in a camp in this area? Any plans that I don't know about?...
