Hi all,
I'm a sign maker in NJ and just placed the order for a 6x10 PRS alpha with ATC and vac hold down, Aspire software and a bunch of bits. With luck I'll have it here in 5-6 weeks, then the assembly fun will begin. Wish me luck. And yes, I do fully expect to waste a good amount of materials getting it all dialed in. I've been saving pieces of aluminum, plastic etc. for a while now and have lots of stuff to play with.
A couple quick questions, though there WILL be more. I expect to be cutting aluminum, ACM panels, plastic (acrylic, pvc and polycarbonate), HDU foam, etc. all the normal sign making materials. I'm, shopping for a dust collector system. Suggestions anyone? It can either be single or three phase.
For the assembly process (I'm going to allow a week with one or two helpers hoping I don't get interrupted too often), are there any specific tools or special items I will need other than what a sign maker/installer might need? I have a shop full of hand and power tools, full sheet metal shop, welders, electrical tools (we make/install mainly electrical signs), table/miter saws, forklift, etc. I figure we probably have everything we will need but it never hurts to ask.
Thanks all!
Rocco
