We make a lot of .063 alum parking signs and we print the vinyl/laminate then apply to the alum sheets. What is the best bits you have found to keep the vinyl from gumming up? This is a brand new colex sharp cut. Upcut or downcut? any specific bit you can recommended??

Did you get the x24? I am looking Into the colex 5x10 with belt and the x24 with the belt. 5k difference in price

do you have a rendering of the sign you are proposing to install?

2x2" alum with 8x8" plates, glue a .125 alum face on and pin mount the letters. Needing a guy wire depends on what the building is. If you can throughbolt or get about 4" solid embedment that thing is not going anywhere

you always need to keep in mind what equipment lifting capacities really mean. Your skyhandler forklift might be rated to lift 10K but that is not with all the boom out. A cranes maximum capacity is with all the boom sucked in and completely raised. For example we install Digital billboards...

Not that you gave us any details, but is it something you could burn new holes in the plates to make it work?

Until my installers, insurance company, workers comp decides they only want half their fees while we are traveling I will continue to charge my full install rate from port to port.

they are both awful but I will reluctantly vote for the lesser evil, which i believe to be trump. How any business owner could vote for a liberal is mind numbing. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot

they are stud welded onto the .125 alum face that is glued to the retainer system. we typically glue the faces on the front of the retainer for a cleaner look when we are building the cabinet.

I should mention, that if its only 3mm composite you are going to need to add some sort of stiffener to the back to keep it from being floppy,Assuming its single sided, If its a double sided sign you might want to just print a single sided panel and tape it to the back of the existing 3mm giving...

Printed vinyl still has its place, a flatbed doesn't eliminate the need for a roll to roll in most sign shops. We still used ladders everyday on our bucket trucks too!

This is the proper way to have acrylic light up on a opaque background. This is router and push through lettering , there is also router and backed up lettering. I dont think you will ever get it perfect that you cannot see a glue discoloration the way you are doing it. Do some testing and...

Im just curious how someone spends 70k+ on a flatbed and doesn't know the answer to this question

every sign face survey requires the following Visual opening Cut size cabinet size pan depth if it is a pan face with all that information we never have issues

you are welcome for bringing that to you're attention
