My current formula for 3mm ACM is an Amana #51446 (1/8" O-flute) at 19,000rpm and 125ipm, conventional cut. I do one full-depth pass with a 0.005" offset, then a second pass with the same feed/speed but no offset. This gives me a good edge and ejects most of the chips that otherwise like to...

I'd use a rivet - that's how my off-the-shelf version is assembled.

For 3/4" plywood, I use a 2-flute, 3/8" compression bit, 19,000 rpm, ~150 ipm. I do two passes - one climb cut, almost full-depth (leaving a thin onion-skin to help with vacuum hold-down), followed by another full-depth conventional cut. The climb cut is good for hogging out a lot of material...

Josh, this looks promising for my shop - I've been imagining a product similar to this, but I didn't know it already existed :-) I just ordered one to test. I'm curious to see how it does with small (~2") letters vs the part in the video. I'm guessing the mat combined with a down-shear bit...

Would you mind sharing what make/model of premask product you're using for this? I just do routing - no printing or finished signs, so I'm not familiar with those products. I normally use Super 77 as noted above for small letters, but I haven't found a masking material that I really like yet...

Agree that more info is needed, but just a few thoughts/observations: - That's a pocket toolpath, not a v-carve toolpath; however, the blue lines and the state of the preview appear to indicate a v-carve path is in use. Did you perhaps edit the wrong toolpath before taking this screenshot? I...

We're happy with our CAMaster Panther. I'd think you'd want vacuum hold-down and a spindle (not router) with speed control to dial in your feeds & speeds, especially with polycarb.

I've recently started using Laird Plastics for my sheet goods, and have had nothing but great experience with them so far. They have a location in Austell, about an hour west of Dacula. My rep's info: Drew Knight | Customer Service Rep 8110 Troon Circle, Suite 100 Austell, GA 30168 Ph...

Good idea. Also enter yourself as a contact in your phone with all the details you'd want to share on a card. Then you can share that contact via text and your customer can immediately save it into their contact list without having to retype (or mistype) any of your numbers, etc.

A quick "view source" shows that the site references a font called Roboto-slab. I'm guessing your browser normally substitutes something else, but once you added a font to your system by that name, it started using it.

I have a small supply of 1/4" clear extruded acrylic. I can supply you with cnc-routed blanks, sneeze guards, etc. - maybe even full sheets, if you don't mind a trip to South Ga. Shoot me a PM or email to james @ moultriemade.com, and I'll get you a quick quote. Thanks!

Quote emailed. Thank you!!

Looks like the navigation links on that page ignore the "begin" parameter. Clicking the "G" in your example takes you to https://signs101.com/members/list?begin=G You can go to subsequent pages by manually adding "&page=x" to your URL, so https://signs101.com/members/list?begin=G&page=5...

Absolutely! james @ MoultrieMade.com

I'm nowhere near you, but, if you can justify the cost of shipping, I'd love to help. :)

I have had good results using a Donek drag knife with X-acto blades for 3mm coro. I edit my cut file to soften any inside corners. This eliminates the need for the knife to raise up in Z to make a sharp turn. I do the same for outside corners, or add loops if I want them to stay sharp. I'm...

I just ordered 5 sheets of 0.02" PETG here: https://www.professionalplastics.com/PETGSHEET?prrfnbr=125159&child=156814&qty=1&calc=calc29 About $213 including freight.

My last purchase was $29/ea for 4x8x3/4 "ULDF". This was from Hood Distribution out of Jacksonville. Delivery was free, but they have a minimum order of about $400 I think. I'm about 200 miles from them, but they have a truck here every week serving the local cabinet shops.

3/4" should be fine, assuming you've got a reasonably strong vacuum. I've always used 3/4" in the past, and replaced it when it got down to 3/8-1/2 or so. As it gets thinner, the exposed areas become more leaky and it's harder to maintain a good seal. Just this past weekend, I decided to try...

I've used both LDF and MDF and I found that any difference is minimal. With either, be sure to skim cut the bottom side to remove the smooth/pressed surface before flipping it over and attaching permanently. I've been doing some experimenting with this lately, I tend to think that your...
