  1. shop build-out for router... seeking experienced feedback

    27.5 actually... and I'd like to think it will run constantly, but in reality, I expect to spend the better part of a year building up a more steady stream of router work... ..but, yes I do want to rethink anything that is not properly designed. I do plan to vent the heat from BOTH of those...
  2. shop build-out for router... seeking experienced feedback

    Thanks Dustin... 25HP, that's a pretty goos sized compressor, if my 7.5 hp, 80 gallon one is any indication. GVP, thanks for your input. I've received a few replies elsewhere & by email... and I'm already thinking I will swap the compressor/dust collection corner, with the router, so I...
  3. shop build-out for router... seeking experienced feedback

    I'll bump it again tomorrow when more people are on-line... but I'll try once this afternoon too... I really hope to get some words of wisdom from folks that know more than I about what I'm getting into.

  5. shop build-out for router... seeking experienced feedback

    OK, here's the floor plan I have drawn up. The vertical black partition wall, about 1/3 over from the left, is the wall between the old and new units. The office partitions defining a space (shown with the 1x1 floor tile grid) in the upper left hand corner of the new unit were already there...
  6. shop build-out for router... seeking experienced feedback

    By now, many here have heard me mention my plans to add a router. Things are in full swing now, and while I feel I have done a fair amount of homework, nothing takes the place of experience. For that reason, I want to outline my intentions, as they stand today, and see what considerations I may...
  7. Cant open .eps file???

    same here, in CS2 on a PC, then it placed a horrible 1 bit bitmap of the gradient shown in the earlier post. I would ask client to resend without gradient, and you could re-apply it
  8. EPS Files

    and if that doesn't work, try telling your customer that they are mistaken and it isn't a vector file... just because .eps files CAN be vector, doesn't mean they ARE... and in the last 20-some years... the percentage of files that aren't... is WAAAYYYY higher then the percentage of clients who...

  10. printing on chrome vinyl? how

    I print Gerber chrome (silver medal) foils on black vinyl. Works great, and you end up with the properties of real vinyl, instead of the brittle, non-conforming realities of most polyester metallic films. Just did a job yesterday... rolled out of the edge at 1:45, and the finished truck...
  11. printing on chrome vinyl? how

    this is a job for the EDGE! or... print on clear, and apply to chrome.

  14. Photoshop/Illustrator Question

    or export the faded illustrator oval as a .tif & make a new layer in photoshop. You will still need to eliminate the white area around the food, like idea sign suggested though. To do that, in the layers pallette, double click the background layer, then you can change it to layer #0 (or any...
  15. Painting Precision board

    got pics? Isn't the fsc-88 a texturing primer, meant to be very thick & create it's own texture, rather then settle into the pores & result in a smooth finish?
  16. Problems with Flexi-Crap 8.1

    yeah... now instead of saying "thanks for nothing"... ...he can say "THANKS FOR THAT POINTLESSLY ACADEMIC LINK" :rolleyes:
  17. Problems with Flexi-Crap 8.1

    academic terms are only pointless for people with no desire or capacity to learn... otherwise, the entire point is to facilitate clear communication for the improved exchange of information. You're right though... since you only want to bitch, using proper terminology is pointless. And...

  19. What CNC Do You have?

    There is more than one Multicam, & I don't know about the other ones, but the 3000 series is a demanding machine. Like your Gerber, or any other 3-phase router, you can run it with a phase converter, but this will cost more in electricity, so keeping it at 3 phase is best. I'm in the...
