I usually get 3M when it's on sale at Sherwin Williams, bought some orange high tack a while ago for working on a car with ceramic coating and it is heavy duty and sticks well for several applications where blue tape falls short. I will have to try some from the body supply shops.
I agree, it has severely fallen behind vcarve, I bought my router used with an old en route 5.2 license and dongle and use it for now until I can justify building vcarve pro into a few carved projects. This is what I do:
1) start with the face (rectangle), this will be an engrave toolpath (or...
I apologize for adding to the off-topic replies, and don't intend to come off as nosy or rude. Are you the owner of the shop you mention or the manager? I assumed "took over" meant that you purchased and were/are the owner of but reading through again it sounds like you are a manager looking for...
You can use any software you want to draw it, or just draw it directly in en route. I usually draw in flexi and save as dxf file then import into en route and assign toolpaths.
What material are you planning to use? It's pretty simple really, depending on your setup the hardest part is getting your hold down and spoilboard sorted so you can get a consistent depth of cut. Then it's just a V bit and draw a few boxes. Here is a good reference of how they are typically...
Michael Janda has some good free resources for stuff like this, all his stuff is geared toward design services but translates well for the most part. He is big on deciding if the client is going to be beneficial to work with before ever developing a relationship.
Actually, I did a quick proof of concept based on your request. It needs a lot more polishing and there are some weird excel syntax things with spaces so I just added an underscore. Anyone with a decent coding background (not me) could probably fix it up in a hurry. I just followed the concept...
You could split them out into sub tables, but it gets pretty messy pretty quick, and way more tedious to update. Sub headings or color coding seems to be the best for finding things quickly
While I agree with almost all of your suggestions, I would say that your intended objective is counter to my original intent with the example. Sheet 1 was intended to act less like a spreadsheet and more like an "app" or UI with calculations and a very basic material catalog in the background. I...
A mechanical fastener is obviously the best, but most silicones will still set in below freezing (just slower setting). "Apply when surface temperatures are between -35°F to 140°F. " from the sheet linked below.

No Problem, I tend to highlight prices in a certain color and change when they are updated so I can quickly see when the price was last updated. I try to get through most of it quarterly but it helps to pick away as I go sometimes. Odd ball or volatile materials tend to get updated per quote.
