  1. Laser engraving ACM anyone?

    I have a sample book of different colors and finishes for the MAX-metal brand (sold by Grimco) so I figured it would be good to know how the different finishes engrave for future use. In a word- it engraves fine, mostly. As you can hopefully see from the pict the mirror finish was almost...
  2. Anyone have a GCC LaserPro?

    By the by- the 10,000 hours is not burn time, we have determined that is is time from manufacture- even if not used. That said, for the price of a US tube (or recharge) you can buy a lot of glass tubes. Gene
  3. Anyone have a GCC LaserPro?

    Glass tube indicates Chicom manufacture, tread lightly- there are terrible and there are good mfgrs. Gcc appears to be Taiwanese, if you are not familiar with the technology you might want to try a N. American company which imports chinese lasers and actually support them. Gene

  5. Plastic Stencils?

  6. Dirt cheap vinyl for throwaway stencils

    Yes it does- been using it for 20 years. Most brands have it and it is pretty inexpensive and thicker than cast. A stencil is re-usable and requires a stencil stye font so the centers do not drop out. Gene

    I think you are talking about a paint mask?
  8. cnc cut signs

    VV- you sound like someone who has never done one? You are right, the paint is cheap. The materials are not so, and a *lot* of elbow grease. Not raggin' it is just more work than you could imagine. Gene

    If it is set at 12 inches- it should cut the 1st 12inches, and then move on to the next 12 inches- etc.

  16. Presidential debate...let's hear your thoughts

    You realize if you vote 3rd party... someone else gets their choice, right? Hard to believe that you believe the scale is balanced perfectly between the two? Seriously?
  17. What Roland would buy if you where opening a new shop.

    I am sold on my RF-640 with a bulk ink system and GX500 cutter. I regularly print / lam / cut 20' logos. The printer is way cheaper without a onboard cutter and onboard cutters are not good for half that length. That said... Roland is going with a new printer head going forward (not Epson) but I...
