  1. Cutting Pro FC4100-75, makes loud hard click noises

    Mine sometimes makes a clicking noise but it seems to cut everything pretty good. Check the tip of the blade with a magnifying glass make sure it isnt broke. I wonder if you accidently changed any of the settings in the cutter accidently while setting it up for a cut job.
  2. Cutting Pro FC4100-75, makes loud hard click noises

    I have done that!! man what a piss off
  3. new blades drive me crazy!!!!

    so typically the first thing I have to cut with this blade is 3m 2ml. Set it and tested a small lower case E, weeded fine. Start cutting and sure as chit you can hear that paper sound as it cuts. Oh well I wait it out. Look at the back of the paper and you can see the impression. I think OK...
  4. new blades drive me crazy!!!!

    its all machine set. But it is like the blades are a little to sharp and need to be dulled a bit. It takes about a few hours of cutting to get them where they are cooperating
  5. new blades drive me crazy!!!!

    The one thing I have always disliked doing is having to put a new blade in the cutter. I don't care what they cost it is trying to fine tune it so that you can weed fast and easily. These blades are so dang sharp when they are new I can't seem to get the right pressure. I can run test after test...

  7. Universal vs. Epilog laser

    thats fine for me. I have absolutely no idea what I will do with it so entry level is all I need for now.
  8. Universal vs. Epilog laser

    what is your opinion on a Versa Laser? I can pick up a friends used but in good shape.
  9. need some help with silvering?

    no its regular acrylic and I am almost positive that it has something to do with the method used to cut it. Although perfectly smooth to the touch and to the eye it may have a multitude of very small continuous punctures and somehow the vinyl just cant recess itself into them wet, dry with heat...
  10. need some help with silvering?

    I looked at the sample she gave me and I can see it in there a bit too. I dont know how old it is but I bet its over a year or so. The blue they used was much lighter and probably does not show up as much. I bet it's the plexi and may have to be polished better than it is. LIke I said the logo...
  11. I Don't Normally Complain but...............

    maybe I shoul get into this garment end of the business!!! So you guys are also in the promotional end or you supply promotional companies?
  12. need some help with silvering?

    The sample piece is all vinyl. the 2ml does the same thing. Damn!!!
  13. I Don't Normally Complain but...............

    truth is I am much less stressed when she is not here. It seems my days are continually aimed at keeping her busy and babysitting...at $20 per hour... sheesh. Since she has been off, yes I have to work a lot harder and longer but you know what? I love it and I get my hands back into weeding...
  14. need some help with silvering?

    but if that were the case, how am I to remedy it. I have 300 pieces in boxes. This is a large client of mine that I do lots of work for...cant be telling them sorry cant be done. Is there a polish I can try on the edge? I will try the 2ml 3m and see if it goes away
  15. need some help with silvering?

    I will try the 3m. I did the original piece dry and it is perfect, the silvering does not seem to go away with heat or time ( 24 hours anyways) but like I said if you look therough the plexi from the top straight down or even the sides it looks absolutely perfect. It's just certain angles this...
  16. Favorite masking tool?

    one man hobo machine? lol to much
  17. I Don't Normally Complain but...............

    I too have gotten so busy that I have doen two 12 hour days in a row. When I get to busy I wake up early (not by choice) so I go to work early. Those few hours before the world gets up rerally give you an oppotunity to catch up. My problem is that my one employee who does weeding and applying is...
  18. Favorite masking tool?

    I have something very similar, but I find as I am putting the mask down and as I get closer to the roll it starts to get tight and then sometimes the wrinking can occur. Any hints on how to keep it less taught? I have a 38" big squeegee with the cradle, maybe I should give it a whirl
  19. need some help with silvering?

    I use the term silvering lightly here as I am not really sure what it is. Let me explain what I am doing. A client brought me a sample of an acrylic name plate that is 2" x 10" and 5/8" thick clear and either it was lasered, water jetted or flame polished. I am not sure but they are clean and...
  20. Irritable, bitter and now nervous

    I can't imagine what your going through, but OP may have something there with the oil of cloves. It will numb the area and possibly allow you to get on with your life. I have tmj and I clench, but it's nothing like that. The TMJ just makes my chewing sound loud sometimes as the bone rubs, but I...
