  1. Curious how you deal with this type of job

    How are the decals being used? Do you have white ink capabilities? Do you have a good tangential plotter? I'd be fairly confident that our Summa could cut that small text (even laminated w/ cast) but might be a bit of a pain to weed. Otherwise I'd print everything on clear w/ a white prime...
  2. Suggestions For walk-in sign businesses - Your COVID-19 update tips

    I don't have or watch cable, and didn't bother reading your rant to be honest.. Good luck to you and your theories.
  3. Suggestions For walk-in sign businesses - Your COVID-19 update tips

    You're on glue. Guess the thousand of new cases every day in the US are just made up? Ignorant people like you are the reason it's so out of hand.

  5. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    Thanks for the info Matt, was hoping you would chime in! When you say for cut outs you use the HD tool, does that include coroplast, 3/16" foamcore etc? Is there a specific creasing wheel that you would recommend for just making cardboard boxes? (Sorry, don't even know what kind of carboard...
  6. Need Help New to sign making and need lots of advice!

    No thanks. Good luck to ya.
  7. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    Good to know, thanks! Especially since our S140T doesn't have opos-cam/barcode reader so I'm really excited to use that workflow on the F1612. The thought of loading a roll, scanning a barcode and walking away sounds almost too good to be true!
  8. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    Hey Phil, thanks for the info! Good to know about the kiss-cut tool. I originally thought it would be a little redundant to get it but that makes perfect sense the way you explained it. Also good know about the EOT. I think I'm going to hold off on that and the creasing tool for now, until...
  9. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    Thank you very much for the detailed response! Really appreciate it. I think I'll add the kiss-cut tool and skip the V cut for now. Good to know about the remote - I might still go with it since our computer will be located near the back of the unit so it might come in handy. I believe it's...
  10. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    Just wondering what everyone out there is using for tools on the their Summa F-Series cutters? Ours is sitting here in a crate and I'm just trying to round up some last minute items before our training! We're getting: -Drag Module -Tangential Module x2 -Router Module -Single Edge Cutout tool...
  11. Taking delivery of our new Summa F1612 next week, what else should I know?

    Ours is coming tomorrow, getting excited!
  12. Anyone have a removable curtain/divider in their shop?

    Man, that's awesome! Looks a million times better than I expected. Plus you get the bonus of having storage built in the sides/top! Cool idea, thanks for sharing.
  13. Anyone have a removable curtain/divider in their shop?

    Good to know, thanks Scott! Definitely wouldn't be routing wood on a regular basis. Congrats on your purchase! Hopefully we can share some ideas once we both have them up and running. I think we're finally ready after running power and getting a compressor, computer etc. Yep, pretty much...
  14. Anyone have a removable curtain/divider in their shop?

    Sweet, thank you! Will look into these. At the very least now I can wrap my ahead around how the hangers work. Thanks. Our current set up works really well, I sure hope squeezing a flatbed cutter in won't mess things up. There's another third of the shop not shown there, with...
  15. Pressure treated lumber shortage

    Yep. All those damn DIYers gobbling up all the building materials while bored out of their minds at home! (I'm guilty as charged, despite still putting in 50 hour weeks at the shop)
  16. Anyone have a removable curtain/divider in their shop?

    We're adding a flatbed cutter w/ router in a couple of weeks. I'm debating whether or not we should add some kind of curtain/divider for when we're routing. The router will be about 10-15' away from our flatbed printer (not ideal, I know). I don't plan on routing much wood....mostly just...
  17. Hi from Canada

    Welcome to the party, from Winnipeg.
  18. Question My first poll - retail store?

    What defines retail? Is it a storefront on a busy street with tons of walk-ins and tire-kickers? Or simply a shop that is open to the public? We operate out of a commercial shop/office but have VERY little random walk ins, thankfully. Would that be considered retail? Or are you referring...
  19. Installing 25' x 25' mesh banners between columns

    I know it's been a long week, and it's almost beer thirty, but that box don't look square to me! Smart-a$$ comments aside... I wonder if you could have some steel beams made up then tie into those pillars (for the spanning sections). I can't think of anything else that would would have enough...
