  2. laser Engraver questions...

    Hey barry: we have owned 5 lasers over the years, give me a call if you have any questions. Also, the exhaust on your printer won't be powerful enough to get the fumes out of your shop from the laser, we have a 800 cfm exhaust fan and you can still smell it some times.

  5. thoughts on the Vision 2550 engraver router?

    We don't use our 1624 for routing because it only has an engraving spindle, not a full on router head, so it wouldn't stand up to routing, the machine you are looking at has interchangeable heads, so you would do Ada stuff with the engraving head, and switch it to the router head for cutting and...

  7. thoughts on the Vision 2550 engraver router?

    We run a vision 1624 engraver and use the raster system for making Ada signs, it's a pretty good setup, we don't use it as a router but if you have specific questions about the engraving/Ada side I will try my best to help.

  11. Do you really need a phone # on your sign?

    I agree 100%, however some business owners seem to think that you should put every piece of contact info on their sign "just in case" cause they are terrified they might loose a sale. explain to your customer that adding another element to the sign will make the important copy less effective...

  14. best practice for printing ice skating rink ads?

    Print and apply to thin styrene, then cut a piece of clear polycarbonate the same size as he styrene. Round over all edges of the polycarbonate with a router but. Drill & countersink the polycarbonate, the polycarbonate goes over the print, this will allow them to change sponsors easily and it...

  18. Hey Fellers and Montroy.

    Seems like a very poor business decision to me, sure he will gain new customers, but the vast majority will be "boy racer" types looking to buy 3 yards of carbon fiber wrap film, to risk alienating clients who buy 10+ rolls of 3m180 & lam a month seems like a very unwise decision however, I'm...
  19. Interesting Architect coversation on job bid

    It quite common up here, we do a lot of school work for architects, the best is when the vendor they insist you use has been out of business for 15 years, it shows you how often the specs are just copy/pasted without any thought put into it at all. we like doing these types of jobs, there is...
