    Yes 4'x8' sheets it is a housing manufacturer & they had houses they had to cut it down on a table saw & use it for exterior trim on. Now the contract is done & they want to get rid of it. I saw online that 3/8" & 1/2" should be mounted solid &not used for trim so I'm hoping it is 3/4" I'm...
  3. Need Help Anyone familiar with Azek Sheeting?

    I'm new to CNC so I'm not super familiar with all types of PVC. I have a customer that wants to sell me 74 sheets of Azek PVC I need to go in today and look at it. I was told it is either 1/2" or either 3/4" smooth on one side wood grain textured on the other side. Is this stable enough to...

    Once you get it cleaned print a an 11.8" x 12" block of 70% cobalt blue this will tell if the head is going out. Post a photo of the print.
  6. Gerber Edge 2 misprints

    You'll have a lot more issues with orical than convex. Try a print on convex. I see your new do yourself a favor and make sure you are charging enough. You need to think about no only the material cost but also insurance & equipment replacement. If your edge goes you'll need to replace...
  7. Gerber Edge 2 misprints

    Wow this is a throw back question for me. As stated above Use good foils & vinyl I had more issues printing on cheap vinyl than I did with non Gerber foils. Make sure you are keeping your vinyl clean as well as the table the vinyl is rolling back & forth on. It doesnt take much to cause...

  9. Suggestions JV150 or Epson 60600?

    I have a jv300 setup with SS21 INKS 8 colors (lm, lc, lk, & orange and we love it. It is the 3rd Mimaki we have owned & so far none of them have ever given us and problems. With that being said, if the Epsons are true solvent & not eco solvent I'd consider an Epson 80600. I think regardless...
  10. Question Pricing simple CNC signs on pvc

    Ian, I havent done this for a a long time but I have a price structure that seems to have been working. What I do is use shop rate plus material & markup then I charge $75 - $100/hour for router time (including router setup & cleaning depending on the customer) on jobs with long run times I...
  11. We are thinking of getting a CNC Router, but This was interesting

    We recently purchased a CNC Router Parts Pro 4896 with all their upgrades and so far love it. Is it to the Multicam or Laguna level? No but is it capable of doing incredible work? Yes. DetailGS If you or anyone else has any questions let me know I'll help if I can. We built a vacuum table for...
  12. Need Help BUBBLES! Need clear answers on vinyl application

    Ams- you said it is one of the best vinyls in its class (intermediate) but their 751(cast) is garbage when in fact the 751 uses the same adhesive as their 651 but has a higher quality vinyl its self yet you say its garbage so apparently you're either stupid or don't know what your talking about...
  13. Need Help BUBBLES! Need clear answers on vinyl application

    651 is a lower level vinyl than 751 & saying 651 is superior its class is like saying it's the best of the worst vinyl. You saying I need to get my facts straight is laughable. You may not know me but I'm sure a lot on here do, you need to do some research on how vinyls are manufactured...
  14. Need Help BUBBLES! Need clear answers on vinyl application

    651 is garbage as well as most Orical, unless something has changed even the 751 is a "calendered high performace" which is an oxymoron, calendered will never be high performance and Cast will never be high performance. Calendered should never be used on vehicles unless it is for a demo derby...

  17. Versatex for a vacuum plenum?

    Thanks for the response. Can I ask a couplequestions? How deep are the groves in your plenum? Did you have to seal it with epoxy? Thanks again
  18. Versatex for a vacuum plenum?

    I have a couple questions for you. What epoxy primer did you use? I was told to use a 2 part epoxy adhesive to seal with. Can you spray or brush it? How in the world did your boss catch the router on fire? Thanks
  19. Versatex for a vacuum plenum?

    I'm building a vacuum table for my soon to arrive CNCRP PRO 4x8 Router and I was going to use phenolic to route my plenum until I was quoted $780 for a 4x8 sheet of C or CE. I could use MDF but the extra hassel with sealing it has me a little turned off. So I thought maybe I could try Versatex...
  20. My Very First 3D Sign w/ the Shaper Origin

    The shape looks interesting but I think I see an issue or 2 with your design & manufacturing of the sign. 1.) Why cut corners on materials? Use the best material you can find so it will last more than a year. 2.) Like mentioned before birds are going to absolutely love the styrofoam. 3.) Why...
