  1. What features on a router can't you do without

    You'll absolutely want the mister if you're cutting aluminum. Not only improves cut quality but greatly increases tool life. You can also use it when cutting acrylic to help blow the chips away. And don't undervalue a good dust/chip collection system! We spend almost as much time cleaning up...
  2. Who Is Using PVC, And...

    The "denser" PVC is known as Type 1 PVC, or some call it Solid Sintra. Most plastic distributors carry it. Makes for a great low cost alternative to acrylic, and it machines beautifully. Because it's solid, not expanded like "normal" PVC, it's much more dimensionally stable. Works great for...

  7. Roland Color System in Flexi

    Photoshop is a raster design program. You can't use spot colors in raster design without getting all crazy using alpha channels. Illustrator would be a more appropriate choice for working with spot color graphics.
  8. Any MAC repair smarties out there?

    What version of OS X? If its a newer one you'll have a recovery partition you can boot to. If you can run disk utility and try repairing the permissions and see if that fixes it. If you don't have the recovery partition you'll need to find a CD to boot to so you can run disk utility.
