I used your method and it worked great. Thanks!

So do you tape it down BEFORE surfacing the first side? Do you also tape it down when surfacing the second side?

Thanks Everyone. I'm going to try 3/4" MDF and start from the outside. I'll keep you posted.

Hello All, I went to surface a new 4'x8' sheet of 1/2" MDF that is being used as my spoil board. Everything was going great until it got about 10" from the outer edge and the corners started to lift a good 1/4"-3/8". We started the surfacing in the center and cut outward. My assumption is it had...

Hello, I'm Just setting up a CNC machine's dust collector and I'm looking for a bracket of sorts to hold the vacuum hose above the machine. ideas?

Good Point. I forgot to mention I also have a set price of $25-$50 per job/file with a $50/$100 minimum depending on the material/substraight. so its $25 and then the sq ft price on top of that. There are some exceptions, but this is our general format. Same thing goes for installs.

Depends what your market is. Is it corporate or retail? Retail is always cheap and your $6.50 is probably inline for calendared material no lam. If its corporate you can be higher. 50% to 100% more with a laminate. An experienced Corporate client expects to pay more (generally speaking). You...

Does anyone know a source for 1/4" thick brushed aluminum sheets?

Anyone here have an Industiial CNC brand router? https://www.industrialcnc.com/

Thanks. Why .080?

So the short of it is I have a customer who wants a warranty on graphics we are producing and installing on their building. 3M 180c with 3m cast laminate. mounted to maxmetal. Its hard to guarantee anything on the exterior. so many variables. Thoughts?

I know this has been tossed around before, but does anyone know where we can recycle ink cartridges? Epson and Mimaki. Staples used to do it but I'm not sure anymore.

Gotcha...good for you. Seems like you know your local economy then. Good luck with it.

If its something specific we dont do, then yes we will consider it, but with the caveat that we have no responsibility if something goes wrong. But if we can supply it at near or at the same cost then we suggest they purchase it from us. I'll tell you why. What happens when something goes wrong...

I make it a point to never install anything someone suplies if we can produce it as well. Anyone can hit the print button. Instillation is the skill they pay for. You are cheapening yourself.

I'm on the same page as you.

Stacey, May I ask if you do this as a side job or full-time? Do you have/pay for a shop, insurance, electric, vehicle, etc?

Also, Ill put this in a seperate post. Have seperate bank and credit card accounts just for your business and use software like quickbooks to import all the costs. You will quickliy see how much you really need to charge to stay in business. Asking what other people charge doesn’t help. Everyone...
