We V carve a lot here. Plasticrouting.com is a good resource to use. Straight or spiral will work. I find I have little to no cleanup with the straight cutters. If I do have anything, a quick pass of the torch will smooth it out.
I use 383T with the 3812. I'm not 100% sure but I think that runs cheaper then 3911. We also like the 3870 as well for low energy. Also use a lot of 110B banner. We are happy with these LG products.
I have used Clearshield on many outfield fence panels. These were printed vinyl onto aluminum. These mostly stayed out for 2-3 years, so we have had no issues.
I have been using ProfileLab by Cadlink for years with our Camtech router. Its as easy as SignLab and it outputs to camplot to send files to the table .Use it for cutting, hog out, V carve, beveled letters and so on. Now the 3D profiling is a little tricky. Really haven't used that feature much.
I have a Graphtec plotter as well. If we ever have this problem, we just cover the mark with translucent white and retrace with fine sharpie. But we rarely have this problem. We laminate with luster on reflective.
I'm putting my Fellers catolog in the round file.
On a side note, I,ve been getting calls for people wanting 2'x3' Signacades for $41 cause thats what the internet says. Never had those calls till I signed up on Signacades site.
A picture would be great. I should have mentioned that the signs are 48''x 105''. It appeared to be something applied to metal, but thicker than vinyl. The marble looks nice and is really glossy.
Thanks for the tips, incresed the exposure time and soften the wash out. I miss novastar. It was as easy as burn it, wash it out then stick it onto the screen.Really I have gotten out of screen printing but I have a few customers that really need this kind of work. I will keep trying these tips...
I was using Novastar films before with no problem. They don't make this film any more and I bought some Ulano Blue poly2 film to try. My problem is at the wash out stage. Once I start the wash out at low pressure, it takes a while to come clear. When it does start to clear, it starts to detach...
I use Onsrud 65-023 bit mostly. 1/4'' diameter at 10,000 RPM is what I use. I try not to use smaller bits unless I have to. These bits cut great and last.
