Thanks for all of the replies. Materials sure have changed! 22 years ago, I bought a truck load of 2” x 8” x 10’ Clear Grade, Vertical Grain, Heartwood and still have 90 boards just sitting around. One of these days I’ll get around to selling it. I now have stacks of HDU that I use...

I was wondering if any of you still use Redwood in a big way or, do you use it every once-in-awhile…or not at all? I can remember “back in the day” when that was the only substrate I used for my Sandblasted signs. I still have a stack of it left but have not used any for the past several years...

Gang If you are posting "Thanks" here, don't forget to send him a message directly to his e-mail address at Gerber. Tony.Teveris@gerberscientific.com

Hi Bill I saw your post about needing a supplier for SMITHS CREAM for smalts. You might want to check this link out. http://www.artisan-signs.net/SmaltsForSigns.php Barry

After reading all of your replies, I think I know how I am going to approach this. IF we get the job, I'll update this Post with pictures. Thanks Again!!! Barry

So, I have a client who wants an HDU 4’ x 12’ x 1.5” sign. Yes, the sign will be in two panels. I will be using my CNC router to clean out the background etc. The HDU substrate will weigh just short of 100 lbs and, naturally, will need a main support bracket to hold it between two 6x6 posts...

Well I found the information I needed. The "mystery" type is manufactured but VEKA Outdoor Living Products. Its part number is F350T-2 and is 3.5"t x 3.5"w with a wall thickness is 0.110 Bj

Hi There! I am wanting to build a PVC Post & Rail frame. I have found that there are two types of PVC T-Rail. (see below) One is called ALZAR, the other, I don't know. Does anyone know the name of the other type? I have seen a samples of both and the "mystery" type seems to have thicker...

Gerber Sabre orientation problem --RESOLVED-- Well, this one if for the books! But before I begin, here is something you might like to know. Rather than grabbing the Lead Screw and turning by hand really does not work because the Screw is too slippery to grasp. You can simply push the Gantry...

Thanks PackRatSigns I tried "Bumping" both the X & Y thinking the same thing, that it was still looking for a limit switch, but that did not work. Thanks for the Heads-Up on how to manually move the x & y manually, that helped me try some other test. No solution yet but I'll keep ever one...

Hi There! I am having a problem with my 408 router and was wondering if you have come across this problem before. Any direction in helping to solve this would be greatly appreciated. Here are the particulars… 1. I turn on the router at the large black box that has all of the cables...

Hi GASouthPaw I received a few price quotes from 2 suppliers...one is Local For a 4' x 8' x .5" it was just less of $200.00. For a 4' x 8' x .75 it was just less of $300.00. Not really too bad considering I pay right around that for a 4 x 8 x 1.5 HDU panel. Bj

You da Man!! Thanks GB2

I have a sample of a substrate that is made of some type of plastic and is layered. The 1st layer is GREEN, the 2nd layer is WHITE, the 3rd layer is GREEN. Both the top and bottom layer is textured...not smooth. The sample is 1/2" thick. There is no label on the sample or supplier info...

Transporting your Edge Yes, you have to take your Edge along with you. Once you arrive at the Hotel where the promotion is taking place, simply drive up to the front door and grab one of those luggage carts (all hotels have them) and place you Edge on it. When I took my machine in, I used...

First, let me say that I am NOT, in any way, affiliated with Gerber Scientific. If this promotion is coming to your city, be SURE to take advantage of it!!! This is what I experienced. As the Tech began to set up my Edge, I noticed he had several boxes of parts, gears, plastic hold downs...

Have any of you routed the decking material called TREX? I am going to be using a “V” groove bit to carve the clients name into it. Once I have that, I will be painting the incised text. Naturally, using a paint mask on the substrate before carving would greatly speed up the painting...
