  1. Electric Trimmers?

    A quick hint if you decide to go with an application table: RS sells the rollover tables, however, Rollover also sells direct in the US and at the SGIA show their price was a few thousand less than what RS told me. They look like they are built well but I have no experience using them.
  2. Suggestions Seeking an Extrusion vendor for curved front signage

    Never hurts to get quotes, sometimes you would be surprised.
  3. Suggestions Seeking an Extrusion vendor for curved front signage

  4. Need Help Magnets for Channels

    I ran into the same problem last year, and found these guys make and sell them direct. Great to work with and about half the price elsewhere that I found. http://www.magnetsource.com/Solutions_Pages/popchannelletter.html
  5. Suggestions Seeking an Extrusion vendor for curved front signage

    I may just be fortunate to have one close. If i recall it was the cost of making the die PLUS 500 pounds of product, and I believe you then own the die.
  6. Suggestions Seeking an Extrusion vendor for curved front signage

    There are plenty of regional extrusion places that will work with you to design an extrusion and have a die made, but the quantity required is usually prohibitive. I think my local extruder requires cost of die plus 500 lb minimum of finished goods. Although that might work out to your benefit...
  7. Need Help Mottling

    As others have mentioned it looks like over saturation, I would play around with other profiles, or for sake of verifying you are on the right track, reduce the saturation of all channels and see if you can get it to look any better with the same profile. We are not using onyx so Im not sure...
  8. VOIP Phone System

    A friend of mine has a small VOIP service and can set you up with whatever you need (or get you pricing). PM me if interested. I also picked up a lot of Polycom vvx500 Phones off a local auction and have a bunch of extras, would be willing to sell some cheap to any of you guys if interested...
  9. Question Removing Unauthorized Cabinets?

    Why not contact the offending tenants and let them know what is going on, offer to consult on relocation or replacement of signage that aligns with lease and local codes. In the process, if you get consent from all parties you can get paid by the property manager to remove and get paid by the...
  10. Discussion Wholesalers dropping the ball... Is it just me?

    Completely agree on the deadlines, I try to have at least 3-4 days wiggle room if plan to outsource and like to be upfront to the customer if their job is not being produced in house. I think rossmosh is onto something with the "you get what you pay for" mentality. I just hope things move the...
  11. Discussion Wholesalers dropping the ball... Is it just me?

    Potentially, but there is almost always a good use case for wholesalers. Take Gemini for example, they specialize in harder to produce items that most small shops and some large shops do not have the equipment to produce, and they have done a great job mastering this market. Another case is...
  12. Discussion Wholesalers dropping the ball... Is it just me?

    I agree that some of them must be using very cheap labor in order to offer the prices they do. Just doesn't seem sustainable to me, especially if the economy take a dip. In most cases competition drives better pricing or quality, from what i have seen lately it is better pricing at the expense...
  13. Discussion Wholesalers dropping the ball... Is it just me?

    The last month or so I have been disappointed with several of our usual wholesalers. Now I am not one that likes to slander so I will withhold names, but these are companies we have worked before (some for many years) without any issues. I am just looking to start a general discussion to see...

  17. CNC Routing Max Metal

    dibond and some of the other manufacturers have excellent guides for working with acm/acp, most house brands have slightly different skin thickness so you might have to make some samples. Also I believe there is a max metal HD with thicker aluminum that might help durability on bends.
  18. Project Management - Pricing

    I would venture to say this is going to take some dialing in. You are (from what I have seen on here) a very systematic person, so I would suggest treating the situation accordingly with a fact based approach. 1) Sit down and write out the process map as you see it happening in your head. 2) Put...
  19. Structural Engineers or Mechanical Engineers?

    Like others said it totally depends on the project, size, etc. But in general you should be able to go to any engineering firm to have technical drawings made. If it is not huge or heavy or unusually complex then you likely do not need engineering for it anyways. From my experience most...
