I picked up a gently used Summa D60 on Craigslist years ago. I use it for occasional work. I design in Illustrator and connect my MacBook with USB. The files are sent to their free software, MacSign cut. It's a very nice machine.

This is how we do it...We use 4x4 pressure treated posts and Alumalite. We cut a slot in the posts a little wider than the alumalite. We dig the holes deep enough to get below the frost line, (about 3 feet) slide in the pole, and get it plumb. Fill in and tamp tamp tamp. We don't use concrete...

21St Century Signs in Williamsport made us a beautiful large sign cabinet. They manufacture in house and will wholesale.

Many thanks!

I have a Bosch and like it, but it can be hard to see the red dot on a bright day.

Been researching best substrates for post and panel signs. In the East most available are Grimco Maxmetal, Alumalite or Dibond. Alumalite has a thicker skin than Maxmetal, .012 versus .008. Laminators claim that the polypropylene corrugated core is stronger than a solid polyethylene core. We are...

Summa. Beautiful machine. Always tracks straight.

I installed just two windows yesterday. Major disaster. The windows are inset into a rough facade. Masking tape doesn't stick, print falls off. Tried duck tape- too aggressive on the print. It was too hot, I got woozy from standing in sun in bucket all day. I thank God for a rain delay today to...

We have used stand offs in office settings. Got them on Amazon. Looks great.

Thanks guys. This is what I am dealing with. Don't know why the hanger is so thick. This photo is from the last panel that was replaced. It's a pita to get to the sign to look at the box, but it probably our best bet. Means an extra trip with the bucket truck, and dealing with school officials...

Thanks. I have seen much thicker, like 1/2". Wondered if that was necessary. We are installing replacement faces for a local printer who outsources the faces, and their vendor won't do the hangers.

Is there a standard way of making the hanger bars for polycarbonate sign faces going into cabinet boxes? Thickness, material used, adhesive used, favorite method, etc.

Excellent suggestions. Thanks so much! I plan on doing a wallpaper type seam and taping the joint. The windows are pretty scuzzy with some broken seals, so I am not afraid to cut on the glass.

We are installing 6 large trapezoid shaped windows from a bucket truck for a local printer. Laminated perf. Our first attempt was aborted because the printer made the prints the wrong size. I attempted to tape up the first piece, and it was way too long. The prints are heavy and difficult to...

YIKES! Bob, I have had that clip art on my computer for some time. I don't even remember where it came from. Just pulled it off bing or somewhere! My sincere apologies! I appreciate you all so much for sharing your knowlege, and would not dream of offending. And thank you all for your replies.

I agreed to install some "window stickers" for a printer that is just getting into large format. I assumed (my bad) that is was window perf. When i picked it up, turns out they did it on 3m air release vinyl with an overlaminate. No application tape. They are not huge, 42" x 31". Never did an...

Finally getting around to a formal intro. My husband and I have a small service company. We have two bucket trucks and and auger truck with a crane, and do all kinds of high work. We have been doing neon and electric sign maintenance and repairs, and we get some requests for new signage from...

Call Len at Neon by Frack at Bartush Signs in Orwigsburg. Great guy. Close to you, you can pick it up.

Lobster Abuse Thank you for an interesting post. I would never abuse a lobster except by dropping it in a pot of boiling water and ripping its legs off. I am just looking for a font for an Auto Repair Sign, and I liked the design of that logo. Bear with me, I am still learning my forum decorum.

Thanks Thank you. Didn't want to show the whole trade marked image, and had some trouble with the upload. Don't want to plagiarize, but I like the font.
