  1. Need Help Perf cut on graphtech fc9000/fc8600

    Thank you for the link. Question, are you using all the blade that come in that set or just the 45's?
  2. Cutting ACM

    Saw is out of the question. I'm not dealing with the clean up and chances of getting pieces under lam or vinyl. Also, on occasion I'll have a good order of small squares and need to keep a consistent cut. Looking a a Dayton 52". My concern is that there may not be enough clearance for 6mm near...
  3. Cutting ACM

    Sorry to kick an old post, but for those with a stomp shear, are you able to fit a full sheet of 6mm omega in it? Do you have clearance at the far end? Thank you.
  4. Stomp Shear.

    Tired of the inconsistent cuts from my Fletcher and replacing the bushings has done little to help. My question is, can a shear cut 6mm ACM and also coro without crushing the edge. I'd like to not use the Fletcher at all and free up the floor space. Thank you.
  5. Die cut decals

    On my Graphtec FC9000 I cut everything over the channel. I get nice smooth edges slowing down the blade. All straight through cuts, no perf cutting. 1/4 inch between each decal seems to be the sweet spot to keep good tension on the vinyl.
  6. Omegabond go on a diet?

    My 3mil standard sheet of Omega feels and looks thinner. There's a noticeable side by side difference with some of my older off cuts.
  7. Showdown Displays Shipping

    Just a heads up if you order form them to use your shipping account and request the shipping fee. I got whacked $60 for ground shipping a 5"x5"x60" box that had a feather flag. I punched in the numbers as if I was shipping it back using UPS (they use Fedex) and the shipping was $21. Took quite a...
  8. Waste Ink

    Wasn't my intentions to start a debate, but that's the unfortunate outcome from a simple question anymore. :( I'll look into a local recycling event or find a waste handler. Thank you.
  9. Waste Ink

    Thanks for the replies. :)
  10. Waste Ink

    I wasn't able to find a thread that had been started. Just wondering what you all do with waste ink? Are there any companies that handle it or do you just turn it in at recycling events? Thank you.
  11. Clean Cut, HQMaster or Graphtec Blade for a FC9000

    Any preferences? I tried the HQMaster, they're stupid cheap and I found out why. Jammed up tight in the blade holder...avoid. I like the Clean Cut for my VG2-540, but am hesitant now to try anything other than original blades in the Graphtec. How do the Clean Cut fair?
  12. Removing media clamps on a VG2-540?

    Well, I feel stupid. Never looked to that side. For some reason I thought they had to come out going right. Thank you!!
  13. Removing media clamps on a VG2-540?

    I've looked through post and searched every combo I know and still nothing pops up on the proper way to get the clamps out. I need to replace the cutter strip and would like to get them out of the way. Any guidance would be appreciated.
  14. Omega-Bond or Bebond?

    I've been using Omega for years with no problems. Was just looking around on Glantz and came across the Bebond. States 3 year outdoor to Omegas 5 year. Has anyone had any long term success with the Bebond for outdoor use? Printed and applied graphics.
  15. How do schools and townships still not understand the PO process?

    I'm on my town board (over 10 years) and we've never issued a PO. Maybe that's just us. We also only pay the bills once a month, as most do.
