still same Trico MD1200 unit here.... installed when we bought the CNC ~15yrs ago. I've had to replace the mister tips a few times, after they occasionally make contact with the spindle and grind-down on the tip, and recently did a major overhaul to re-fit the entire setup with new oil lines...

been using the TriCool vegetable based (green label) lubricant for over a decade now... love it! Agreed that its a bit pricey at $125/gallon, but that gallon goes a long way through the mister. My CNC runs about 30hrs a week on aluminum parts, and i'll go through maybe a gallon every three...

+1 to above suggestion that this is a data issue. if this happened after removing & flushing the head, chances are that you got fluid into the ribbon cable slot and your data connections are jumping....meaning replacement head may be necessary. I would start by swapping the cables between...

Show them your tittle and maybe they'll relax a bit around your work.

ya i run Belin's too. 1----'s on plastic, and 3----'s on aluminum/acm. Agreed that 4 passes to cut a square out of ACM is bonkers, but I still think this issue is chip evacuation & exaggerated by higher rpm's. I'm also using rough&multiple passes on the regular since my cuts are mostly 1/2"...

bigger bit, would be a good start, RPM's seem a bit high. I only use 1/8" bits when cutting detailed lettering, but if I were to be using it for 1/4" ACM I would be running at 19000 climb and only .063-080" per pass. big fan of using 1/4" bit for all of my square-panel cuts and especially on...

id try to make the existing graphics work. +1 to hand-trimming 3/16" off the graphic, and remind him that if he wants you to produce graphics for him to apply....then he has to properly spec. the conditions of the vinyl/layout or pay for redos. seems silly that 3/16" would fall outside of the...

more power to them, if they wants to throw the site some $$$ just to have me immediately click the "ignore" button. still tempted to find his email address and subscribe him to Cat Fancy Magazine & associated mailing lists.

RapidTac II for cold weather, yes it sets up faster.... almost too fast, for fair weather/indoor applications. Not a fan of trying to use it for all installs, but we stock it alongside the Original RapidTac & our in-house soap&water fluid.

220 = 7125 = 7725 same vinyl only difference between 220/7125 & 7725 is a synthetic liner.

we've done pan-formed tenant replaces "on the cheap" by jigsaw cutting out a square/flat-portion of the face and gluing&rivoting a polycarb face over the top. paint the border black or opaque to match the sign cabinet and you can hardly tell. Basically using the formed perimeter as the new...

always wanting more.... sooooo American

if printing onto a particular material is your issue, try printing onto a glossy-clear (for clarity) and laminating that print onto your chosen metallic vinyl.

Labas! Mano šeima kilusi iš Šiaulių got pictures of these "wet stains"? could just be a media issue and you're only noticing it in certain colors. The plastic in older media becomes imperfect/mottled and will resist ink in blotchy/rain-spotted patterns.

huge fan of writing unsolicited 5star reviews for companies we do business with... but not right away. Unwritten rule that you've gotta wait at least two days or you appear clingy.

the term you would be looking for is dual-layer printing for illuminated prints: same image printed, applied with a white diffuser between, will illuminate/blockout as designed. done via clear print mounted on white trans substrate with mirror-printed image applied to backside OR white trans...

so a $40 sheet is going up by $5? I'd be more worried about the price increases if Biden wins. Just quote it. You should be upcharging your costs of materials anyways, so existing quotes should still make you money but new ones should reflect the price increase. If your clients are out...

data issues for sure. check all cables & connections that they're seated properly, and check encoder strip for any imperfections.

o boy, that nozzle check. lol if its not the capping station not seating properly to refresh the printhead, or not the wiper cleaning the printhead, or an empty ink cartridge, or an airbubble in the ink line, then there's two other sources of ink starvation.... its either the ink pump, or...
