No, it stopped immediately. Now it moves between 2 and up to 7 inches or so before stopping; long enough to keep damaging whatever might going wrong at the time. I run most of my toolpaths no more than 100 ipm. Most of them slower. I've never had a problem with skipping steps while stopping it...

I have an old PRT/PRS 4x8 ShopBot table which I upgraded to the new controller board. With the old board, whether hitting the spacebar, clicking the stop button, or a remote stop button, the machine would stop immediately. A little alert/notification prompt would come up giving you the option of...

Ha! I called back, left a message with the city clerk, told them that 2 of the special-mixed paint colors were on file with Sherwin Williams, but that it was 19 years ago when they were built. Actually I think I mixed some of the colors here at the shop so they have no numbers. Anyway, she...

I built these signs, 4 of them, 19 years ago and they need a fresh coat of paint. I gave the city a quote on restoring them about 2 months ago and finally got a call a few minutes ago. The city clerk asked me "we just want to know how you would do them". Thinking they just wanted to know what...

Thank you, that will help me sleep better tonight. But I'm using the Gemini threaded studs on the other side tomorrow.

Ok, that makes sense. What about my stupid mistake on the rivets. I could just about cry. They said "aluminum" on the box, but I checked one of the stems with a magnet and they're steel. I used a double row of adhesive on all the letters except the "I's" and the smaller "Inc" at the bottom. So...

Ok, I see the warning about steel rivets. Too late. I do have a bunch of the threaded studs left over from Gemini letter jobs. I'll do the other side with those. Dang.

Ok, I did it with some Lexel. I figured GG would do fine but, the thought of that stuff expanding out from the sides was gripping my heart with fear.

No, not them kind of stick on letters. I drilled holes in the main panel and the backs of these HDU letters with a 1/8'' bit on the CNC, then cut the studs out of some 1/4'' pop rivets, They were a very snug fit so the letters are aligned perfectly. I sprayed Sherwyn Williams Industrial acrylic...

Would anyone be willing to make these faces for us? I don't have a stud welding setup. Just a mig welder. I'll get you the specs if anyone wants the job.

A rep from this city requested an estimate for build another sign "just like this one". I just received an estimate for building the flowerbed wall and the main sign structure. They told me $9100, just for labor, to pour the footer and lay the brick. After going back and forth a couple times...

Hi Brad, I think I remember you from Letterville. Our Buddy Michael Boone came to visit my shop once, good man. What type studs do you weld to the back the aluminum and how close together? So, if the sign is 14'' x 96'' long, would you use like 3 pieces of 3/16'' acrylic instead of one piece? I...

What thickness ACM? And what thickness acrylic? Thanks Also what bit and speed do you use on the router? Thanks!

I'm open to using 1/8 aluminum if that's what you recommend. Then, how do you attach your polycarb to the back of it?

Ok, any suggestions for a better way to do this?

Contemplating routing an ACM panel, routing the letters out, so that it can be a solid background with light passing through the letters. I'm wondering if I can put a piece of white polycarb behind this, and glue the panels together and also glue pieces like the centers of "a's" and "o's" to...

How much do you charge for it? By the sqft?

Like it? Is there a place I could get a piece 3x4 whithout having to buy a whole sheet? I need some red white red. The largest I have found so far is 2x4. Thanks

It's a small rural church, so, most likely not.

Looking good!
