The GSx does not have an orange theta belt, it uses a swivel knife instead of a tangential blade. Like the previous post mentioned, I'm going to guess you have some backlash in your X or Y axis. Backlash means there is too much clearance between two gears, or there is too much clearance...

Sorry...it all ran together. Use cast black from your current vinyl supplier, and then apply a heavy lam from either Convex or Substance. JB

I think a high quality cast black with a thick lam from Convex or Substance would be sufficient. JB

But pirated software comes with all those free Trojans, how can you resist? JB

Accurate measurement of blade offset requires a special machine called an optical comparator. It's a machine that creates an enlarged shadow of the blade so it can be precisely measured. Incorrectly ground blades can only be fixed by the manufacturer since it requires a precise grinder with a...

Scarlet Macaw is the brand. Take a hint from Grandma and don't hide it.

Dot peen marker, for sure. JB

The blade looks good from the photo. Not sure just what to think. JB

Double check your blade to make sure it has the proper offset ground into it. I bought some really nice blades made by Roetguen for my Gerber GSx and the 42 degree blades are absolutely pristine. The 60 degree blades had no offset and were not able to swivel. If I remember correctly, the...

I miss the 70s...and my model rockets. They were a lot of fun, but they ended up being an expensive hobby for a paperboy's paltry income. JB

The "micrometer" is not a micrometer, it's a vernier caliper. A real micrometer might be a better option. JB

CC blades are great! Ross and his crew provide a great product and service. JB

You obviously haven't been in my shop. We literally spend thousands of dollars a year on research and development activities, which leads to innovation...which leads to profitability. Laziness is nowhere in the equation but you're certainly free to believe what you want. And we certainly do...

Knowing what I know now, it frightens me diving in 13 years ago with so little knowledge and understanding. So I guess ignorance is also a factor. But somewhere in all that mix, innovation is probably the oxygen that has kept me going. We're literally doing almost four times the volume of...

That can be said for a lot of industries. Google the term "disruptive innovation" and you'll find that many established industries are being turned on their ear due to fresh blood and new ideas, fueled by un-hindered enthusiasm. With that said, these people understand that it's not all...

Drop in a serial card. You won't be sorry. You'll need drivers though. JB

I got pulled over by a state trooper and ticketed for no vehicle lettering. My truck has a small cable winch crane in the back and it's used for business when I need it. But I didn't have anything in the truck that was even business related on the day I was stopped. $125 later, I just made up...

I believe it refers to the angle of the blade in relation to a true horizontal plane. A steeper angle, such as a 60 degree blade, will require the plotter to slightly over-travel a corner in order to complete square corner cuts. With a 30 degree blade, the slope in relation to horizontal is...

Hooray for easy fixes! JB

Kudos to you! You've made the competition irrelevant, and have perfectly embodied this strategy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Ocean_Strategy JB
