there are 3 other shops in our town, 2 of them are great and I have no problem lending materials or calling up to borrow something from, we send work to each other etc. The other shop I wouldn't give the time of day to do to his cockyness and undercutting.

you really use cast vinyl ONLY in your shop? including yard signs, banners, and other signs that don't call for it? I would go broke using 220 up here for everything!

Contact the company you bought the laser from, they may be willing to retrain you for a small fee

Yeah the settings are a bit tricky to get down, they will even vary slightly between identical machines. Did you buy the machine new or used? if new, the tech who installed it should have spent the time to dial in the settings on your most common materials for you.

on our 80 watt machine, we use there settings for that material: Engrave 42% power, 82% speed Cutting 85% power 1.4% speed (this is where it gets tricky, our laser may be faster than yours so the speed setting here may change quite a bit, ours cuts at a max of 140 inches per second, so it's...

What is the wattage of your laser? different wattages require different settings, i have a 45w and a 80w machine, if you tell me your wattage and the material you are trying to engrave/cut, I should be able to give you a decent starting point settings wise.

I'm sorry this is just a d**k move no matter how you justify it! You don't out your wholesale customers to their clients like that. We do quite a bit of "to the trade" work for other local shops, and i've been in your exact position where i've seen work we have wholesaled at a clients location...

I've been runnin Trotec lasers for the past 9 years now so I know a fair bit, so if your question isn't Epilog specific I may be able to help. As far as ADA signs on a laser go, the raised letter tactile can be done, but the braille is a bit tricky, I've never done it but I understand there is...

i think it's corian that has been engraved & paint filled

We had one made up by the local metal fabrication shop, it's much more heavy duty than the once you can buy, weights around 40 lbs. Then we got 3 jobs for putting in parking signs for new schools, all 3 jobs were due withing the same week, so we bought this http://www.skidril.com/g20d.htm no...

I dump it down the sewer in the middle of the night..... j/k I also dump it into kitty litter and put it in the dumpster

ND is out of stock on something!?! you don't say!

I don't think any printed decal will foot the bill for this application. I would suggest finding an engraving shop with a laser engraver and have them etch some anodized aluminum plates and put some 3M 468MP adhesive on the back.

There is still a maximum the policy will pay out, in our case our loss was a little bit more than our policy maximum, so there was no way to get more money. If you have enough coverage to add 25% without reaching your policy limits! you are over insured.

You wanna talk about unfair, just ask what the adjuster takes! When we had our fire we considered hiring an adjuster, untill they told me their fee is 25% of our final payout or around $65,000!

I would call your insurance company right away, let them know what happened and I would have them pay for a tech to come out and at the very least give the equipment a once over and make any repairs/replacements that need to be done. I would assume your landloard's insurance would cover this...

We had a small banner we installed on 2 poles on the side of a clients building using traditional lags bolts and lead sleves, we got a phone call 2 days later that the wind had pulled the brackets right out of the wall, we went back and it turns out that the street is a huge wind tunnel. We...

Be quiet! The way he did it is perfectly acceptable. The door gives a great reference point in terms of size God you're annoying sometimes

We also do a yearly inventory, it helped us out a great deal when we had our fire, the insurance company was able to see the dollar amount of inventory we had and it saved us a bunch of back and fourth in regards to getting a settlement. Saying that, it is a bit of a pain, but we only count...

My Clients wouldn't use this. They don't have the time to sit there and use a cumbersome browser based design platform to design their signs, they are quite happy to let me choose the best product for their needs and to work with me on a design.
