    I have thirty year old galvanized pans for work table tops. Magnets work on them and they are as good as 30 years ago. You go through x-acto blades but that's why there is 100 of them in a box.
  7. 80x100cm Heat Press, 220V Dryer Outlet Wiring?

    Biggest cause of compressor disasters is from lack of maintenance, like never draining water from tank causing rust and weak spots. Never leave it on when no one is around.

  9. Year end purchase

    For me in the sign shop I would get a nice laser just to play. I'm getting close to retiring and play toys are in, lol.

    Roland BN 20. I have one coming myself.
  12. Old Screens

    If they have not been exposed they should wash out with water and pressure sprayer. If they have, emulsion remover and pressure washer should do the trick. If they have any ink in them that thinner will not remove or if there is a ghost image haze remover should be in the mix.

    Hey Gino and OP, been using my safety speed cut 22 years now. Have had triple chip blade the whole time. Lotsa teeth, lol. On my second blade. When you let the tool do the work it cuts flawlessly and blades last a long time simply because it is held at perfect angle. Safety is a big +. Acrylic...

    Is it possible you were running windows 10 in 32 bit just for the software?
