Aluminum sheet can be a few different alloys (often referred to as "series" ie: "3000 series") for example Grimco's painted .080 sheets are 3003-h14 alloy (3003 alloy and "h14" designates the temper of the material) https://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Products/AluminumPanels 3000 and 5000 series are...

Another useful tip: if you have or can find an old printer getting scrapped out (ask your equipment dealers) take media holder off and mount it to a side or end of your table. We have a holder off an old mutoh 64" mounted to one end of our 5x10 table and its sooo nice for processing/finishing...

I agree it doesn't seem like a smart option as it would require additional cleaning just passing along what I have heard, do you have any name brands or sources for the silicone remover you mention?

I have heard that WD-40 is good at removing silicone, after watching the clip from Stacey I would not be surprised if they are using that or a similar lubricant. A quick google search says it will also remove tar easily. Again this IS NOT from personal experience, just hearsay.

Look into your local real estate sign installer, they usually warehouse the signs for the agents that use them and will install a post for a set fee in a specific range. Making a good relationship with these outfits could lead to additional sales and a cheaper source for posts (they buy them in...

We use a setup similar to yours (5x10) but rarely cut on that matt, if we are planning to make cuts we slide an old matt under the area we are cutting. Occasionally its not worth the hastle and we just cut on the main matt. Doing this will at least double the life of the matt, ours current one...

As others have mentioned I think they are changing/developing their business and models to "reinvent" themselves. The quoting has definitely gotten less consistent in the last few years, I usually quote online and then send for a final quote before ordering. Usually the quote prepared by them is...

Welcome to the forum. I have a similar background (mechanical engineering with a wide variety of manufacturing experience) and might be able/willing to help you out. I have experience with most of the cad packages (solidworks, autocad, ProE, Fusion360, onshape, and even some catia back in the...

I agree with fuzzycam, and I ran into your exact same issue last week trying to find a newly added color. I was trying to figure out a source that lists what colors were added to what revision but was unsuccessful. The closest I came was finding that solid coated v4 cameout in Sep. 2019 (see...

Could rig up something with these or come up with a similar slotted wedge type fastening system (think pallet racking beams). Unless you know exactly how its made you will likely be the only one able to service it without destroying it ha ha. https://mbs-standoffs.com/products/button-fix?sort=sku!

I would suspect that some of the aluminum price jumps are to help cover the big jump steel price

I havent noticed the climb in aluminum yet, but a friend who is a purchaser for a large manufacturer said his steel pricing went up 100% last quarter. I frequently use coremark metals (used to be discount steel) and last week they had to call me back and charge me more for my already placed web...

r is like Mementor, g is similar to Memphis, cant find a matching s anywhere....Help font gurus! IMG_1242 by Evan Gillette posted Jan 22, 2021 at 10:41 AM

Get a quote from Quality Manufacturing (twin cities) they are good to work with, make sure you measure at least twice!

Awesome work, even for those using other user interfaces for database type job tracking (we are on airtable right now) it helps to explain how records are linked and multiple tables are used. Keep up the good worked. Subscribed!

I'd be interested to see if anyone has ventured to use products other than g2g and how they held up. The stuff is super cheap on eBay amazon etc., but the name brand stuff is quite expensive (relatively). There is always money to be made if you have the right customer, if you have had several...
