I have a few that are close... but not quite exactly. Thanks :toasting:

This!

Paper and cardboard are evil!! From having been there. the best advice I can give you is develop a relationship with the supplier closest to you and ask for samples. There are so many options available, one can get lost pretty fast. Good luck :toasting:

Personally, I wouldn't buy such a large machine off ebay. I know this is a large investment. But you need to consider availability of replacement parts if something should break. And you know something will break 2 hours from a deadline. Software, service, training... all things to consider...

Yup, a flatbed will do that for you. The process is called "die-cut" or "thru-cut" as opposed to "kiss-cut" which standard vinyl cutters do. Flatbeds will do both kiss-cut and thru-cut. Like I said, we have a Zund and it saves us hours on most jobs.

There are many options for flatbed cutter, none of which is going to do more than what you currently have except cutting rigid materials (PVC, styrene,...) and die cut to registration marks. We have a 10ft wide Zund with infeed and outfeed attachments and all the bells and whistles and we still...

We just had a monday morning rant from a customer. Seems somebody told her that installing graphics on the inside of a glass pane in cold weather (-25 celsius this morning) can cause the glass to "explode". Now, I'm not an installer. I've heard that tinted film can do this, but I, and the...

You should consider the software and training also with your purchase. You say the shop where you have your work done currently keeps telling you they can't do this or that. Imo, that's operator ineptitude, but YOUR understanding of the software, the training you received on it, will determine...

From my personal experience as a machinist, I wouldn't venture making precise machine parts on a router. For a sprocket, you need a very precise and rigid machine. I don't think ANY cnc router have the precision or rigidity to accomplish this. You might be able to machine it just fine, it will...

Hey Gino, I use this bit on aluminum composite. Can't remember where we got them, either Onsrud or Belin. I have a few of them but there's no marking on them. It leaves a flat bottom in the groove. Makes it a lot easier to bend at 90 deg.

Vario is distributed by Octanorm. I don't think they'll sell it to you if you are not an Octanorm partner. http://www.octanorm.co.uk/Home2.aspx :Welcome: to:signs101:

Any banner material is going to get chewed up by the skates in no time flat, imo. We use this stuff regularly: https://www.gfloorgraphic.com/ It's a thick vinyl mat. Comes with different textures. Graphics is mounted under the mat. Never tried skates on it, but I think it might hold up. Good luck.

Nice! :thumb: Mismatched socks!!!:banghead:

Never made one by hand, only with a cnc router. But I don't see why you couldn't make one by hand. Obviously, your print file must match your template. So, probably better to make your layout in Illy rather than let the rip do repeats. It will be easier to move one tile in Illy if your template...
