I can see Vistaprint slapping a cease and desist pretty quick...

That there is an ugly van. Aerodynamics... pah! Basics still apply - the rocker is the straight line on that van. Everything you put on it would look crooked as heck, though!

Rookie. How do you know the van is sitting level to the ground? Use what jester suggested; I tend to use the rocker panels as that is the level "line" on 99% of the vehicles out there.

I know of several union shops, but they aren't "sign" unions. Electrical and sheet metal seem to be predominate. Used to work at a union shop that had both and I wasn't pushed into trying to join since I didn't have experience in either. The year I left I heard they were pushing all non-union...

Ah, ok, thanks for that. I would think that an SDS would have more chance of cracking the granite than a standard hammer drill, no?

Ok, I'll ask: what's the difference between the DeWalt SDS and the "regular" DeWalt "hammer drill"? They look nearly identical to me except for the switch on the side of the SDS (of course, I have an ancient hammer drill here).

See, I'd approach that just the opposite - cut black vinyl for the bodywork and a simple white outline for the windows (to mimic the black inline). No printing involved. I'd still be over $500 simply because it's a colossal waste of material cutting just an outline.

Very nice... very nice. Trying to get a sense of scale from the one photo with the gentleman in the back leaning on the bench. How tall is this, about 5' or so?

:rock-n-roll: Looks great! Question is... does it actually spin?

I wondered what that stuff was. We've got several routed and backlit monument shopping center signs that have a granite look in my area.

While I don't have one, typically the shops that do sell lots of decals. Since the machine can print and cut in one fell swoop, it's sort of a no-brainer. It can also be used for printing just about anything else, of course, from posters to wraps, but like you said, the consumables can get pricey.

Interesting and good information there ^. I didn't know the difference in cutting between the two types of bits, other than the carbide was much more brittle. I'll have to get a couple HSS and play with them to compare!

You should be able to cut .040 on a Bot with an 1/8" bit. Air isn't enough, though. Tap magic is good, WD40 works in a pinch, though it gets messy quick. Slow your feed rate and up your rpm's. Reverse your direction of cut if it's still clogging (if you're cutting with a climb cut, reverse it to...

I've had my T750 for years and have never had an issue with cutting parallel lines on it like you need to do. I cut police and fire striping regularly on it with reflective and it's been dead accurate every time. One thing I do is slow the cut way down - as slow as 1cm/s or even half that if I'm...

Good deal. All it takes is a bad connection somewhere. Last month my 1204 wouldn't power up at all. Tech came out, we both went through the entire printer replacing boards, power supplies, everything and still no joy. Never occurred to us to check the actual power feed that is under that little...

It's very possible that my issues are computer related. I have XP64, but not the Pro version and the computer is older, though I believe it has 8Gb of RAM. All my Corel files are on a separate 2TB hard drive for storage, I work off the main drives for the design end. I'm using the Windows paging...

Nice Jim! Did you rout the gears and hand finish or is that all by hand?

I frequently have issues with X6 and low memory, regardless of a .jpg file generated from other sources or simply a large .cdr file. I try to clear my cache once a week if I remember, but it doesn't always work. For some reason this version of Corel seems to be a resource hog and can't handle...

What's "a while" for being unplugged? Half hour? Try leaving it unplugged all night; unplug from the wall and hit the power button a few times to discharge the capacitors. devahoch might be right about a faulty capacitor or it may be something else altogether...

:wink: Gotta love the love here. I'll mix in a little One-Shot or Chromatic Yellow if I'm working a darker color surface and either black or blue for a lighter surface if I need to. And where did I get that info? Well, from the 'Gold Leaf Techniques' by Raymond LeBlanc who states, on page 89...
