Unlaminated material + masking + complex/pseudo complex curves = Bad juju. Reprint and laminate.

Why outsource that? Just go to Sam's club (or another bulk supplier) and order magnetic dry erase boards, cut/print your vinyl, and apply.

Got this from a customer today. Perf.

$15k is what I would offer....tops.

Hoping to cut a test sign in goal this week...

Found these guys while looking for some square tubing. Thought their prices were exceptional. Placed my first order about 10 minutes ago, and thought I'd share. https://www.onlinemetals.com/index.cfm

Updates as follows: I've now cut a few pieces, just some edge cuts and a couple of very simple dimensional cuts. Nothing crazy yet. This machine is perfectly acceptable as an entry level machine for this kind of work in the sign world. I wouldn't cut hardwoods with it (although after the...

If you have access to a CNC, I'd consider glueing up two sheets of 1.5" signfoam and cutting from that...

Welp, I'm cutting now! I feel pretty comfortable with shapes ad inlays. Still trying to figure out toolpathing, and depths, etc., for th 3D stuff. Having smoe Z-axis issues with it raising the spindle too high and out of it's wheel track. Not sure what's causing it, but I will figure it out...

Rustoleun recently bought Masters, and that is a great product. Menards sells it here.

Just a quick update. Here is a video of my jog testing. Hopefully have some cuts moving soon. Had to order bits online, as no one in a storefront setting even knows what a ball-nose endmill is.....lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5jbHWPFt4M&feature=youtu.be

Yeah....I'm not 100% sure how to go on the vacuum table. I'm sure that I will put one together at some point. Right now I'm just going to route some channels and put T-track in and use clamps. I will most definitely keep everyone in the loop :smile:

I was actually planning on building a MDF vacuum table and running it with a shop vac. I've seen this setup before and it held down a 4'x8' piece of HDU with no problem. That was using a simple tiny shop vac. I do need to make/buy a dust shoe and get some kind of dust collection in place...

I buy all of mine through MBS. Good folks, great product. If you want super cheap, call Grimco and order Pizzaz standoffs.

I haven't decided on dust collection yet - there is an $80 attachment for this machine that hooks up to a shop vac that I may go with, however I am considering building an acrylic "cage" to go around the whole table-top with one end and one side hinged. That way, all the dust stays inside the...

It is a machine by a company called CNC Mogul. It is meant to work as a "hobby" machine, however I upgraded the motors and upgraded the gantry to take a mid level craftsman 2.25hp router. It isn't a machine that is on the level of a ShopBot, etc. It is definitely entry level. All in, counting...

I ordered my 4'x8' CNC about 6 weeks ago. The kit came about a month ago, but I have been buried and haven't had time to build the thing. Finally started on Friday. Finished it up today. Haven't attached the spindle yet, and one of the first thing I'm going to build is a vacuum table, but here...

Sanding, beating with a chain, spot clear coat, etc.

Thanks for the kudos! Been a while since I posted a design that didnt get ripped to shreds... lol:smile:

The old Hee Haw show was EXACTLY the feel I was going for here. Client loves it, so I guess it's a win :)
