You'll absolutely want the mister if you're cutting aluminum. Not only improves cut quality but greatly increases tool life. You can also use it when cutting acrylic to help blow the chips away. And don't undervalue a good dust/chip collection system! We spend almost as much time cleaning up...

The "denser" PVC is known as Type 1 PVC, or some call it Solid Sintra. Most plastic distributors carry it. Makes for a great low cost alternative to acrylic, and it machines beautifully. Because it's solid, not expanded like "normal" PVC, it's much more dimensionally stable. Works great for...

If all she needs is more storage you'd be better off just getting a NAS or external RAID array. Especially if all this is only for one user. No real need for a server when you simply need more storage. I run an XServe and OS X Server. I'm still back on 10.6 because 10.7 and 10.8 are a joke...

This is the same reason why I bought a physical copy of CS6. Intuit screws us over with all the paid updates that are mandatory. I don't need to add adobe to that list. Adobe emailed me a survey yesterday dealing with this. I answered I'd never use subscription based software and there was...

Photoshop is a raster design program. You can't use spot colors in raster design without getting all crazy using alpha channels. Illustrator would be a more appropriate choice for working with spot color graphics.

What version of OS X? If its a newer one you'll have a recovery partition you can boot to. If you can run disk utility and try repairing the permissions and see if that fixes it. If you don't have the recovery partition you'll need to find a CD to boot to so you can run disk utility.

:thankyou:

Update Final photos of the sign with the planter/base installed.

Sorry to revive an old thread... but I had the same issue this week. First a little background... I have an FC8000-160 connected via a serial cable to a computer running Windows XP SP3 and FlexiPRO 8.6v2. Yesterday I installed the utility from Graphtec so I could back up my condition settings...

A little something to keep me busy while I watch the election coverage...

Ha! I just found it in my Library: Kaufmann is the winner!

Anyone know what font is used for "Club Racing"? I've got this whole logo recreated, but I just need to add the CR text. Really hoping to avoid having to trace the font.

I forgot to mention the crest is a cast aluminum plaque from Gemini.... This sign is going to last forever!

Thanks for all the kind words guys (and gals)! I referred to this sign as the Ark during construction. It truly was a massive project. The cypress was a little more than 2k in raw material costs. It was all "furniture" grade cypress, I guess you could call that select. (I'm not too familiar...

Here's something we don't do very often... work with WOOD. We recently finished constructing a new monument sign for a local church. We decided to build this one entirely out of solid cyprus with MDO faces and Aluminum letters. The posts are solid 10" x 10" cyprus. The top is made of...

I'm in a bit of a pickle and I'm hoping a fellow signs 101'er can help me. I have a customer/installer on a job in Colorado Springs today and tomorrow and I forgot to send two vinyl logos to him. it's too late for me to ship anything to him so I need someone local. Is there anyone in the...
