I have been investigating flatbed cutters/routers and am having trouble getting a straight answer to what I believe is a pretty basic question about the Summa F1612: can you print full-bleed on a 4x8 sheet of material (for instance, ten 18x24s on coro) and trim them on the Summa F1612? Obviously...

This is one of my favorite projects so far. It was for internal use, with an idea I found on Instructables.com We printed this on white dibond, and used our Colex cutter to route it to the desired shape. Then we used our Colex to route out the wood frame and we applied color changing LEDs. It...

I have the Gerber Dimension 200 up and cutting... Works great. Any tips on achieving smoother edges when routing? I'm using a Gerber gold, .125 bit (p50521B). I know its a combination of things, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike@JHD

Hello, Good People; my name is Lynn. I am in a quandary. I've been running my shop for 18 years. I would love to sell it... to see some new energy in here that could take it where I don't have the energy to take it. But... that ain't happening yet, and I don't want to walk away from it, either...

I have a project to create a sign that needs to be 25" x 25" x 2-3 inches deep with 4 letters CNC engraved 1.5" into. The sign will be displayed outdoors. The color needs to be matte black and be able to be cnc routed. Of course, it can be any color and I can paint it with auto paints. A solid...

Just wondering if anyone has used either of these CNC machines? We are running out of space in our shop but have been looking for a cnc router. The size of the 4x4 is very appealing and would work for a majority of our signs that we send out currently. We are having problems getting the company...

I'm looking for a better way to mark a routed sin face for studs. Currently, I'm changing our tool on the CNC router to a regular brush you'd find for a Dremel tool. It makes good marks so we can shoot studs later with the stud gun but over time (and usually on the same sin face) the brushes...

We have a client that wants the letters in picture below made out of the 1" thick acrylic and internally lit with neon effect and stud mounted onto white ceramic tile. I'm looking for your thoughts on how you would go about tackling this project? Here are my thoughts: Cut all letters out of...

Are there any merchants on the forum that are capable of making a double sided cnc sign 97" x 61"

I currently work for SpeedGraphics- a small sign / graphics shop located in Asheville, North Carolina. I will be re-locating to the Eugene / Springfield area in Oregon in June 2017 and would love to find a sign shop to carry on and grow with. Please view my work at onefourfivedesign.com. Thanks...

Hello from the good part of CA, hopefully soon be in a free state... Anyways back on track. I am a small fabrication company that does metal work, signage and general welding and fabrication. I run a 4'x9' CNC plasma table that I also can convert to router and mill, along with my manual...

We have been trying to route aluminum signs with the vinyl graphic applied already to the substrate (instead of cutting the substrate and then taking it to the laminator to apply the graphic) and have had very limited success. I am running a Multicam GraphXcutter with onsrud 63-710 upcut...

I've been working on my Vision2550 router for about a year now, making basic shapes and dimensional letters. Finally got a decent painter and want to start experimenting with routing HDU signs. I have come up with a "seal" design that I want to make. It's got a lot of space that has to be...

We're in need of a spec for an important customer that wants custom routed/printed acrylic signage. If we sent the files, would anyone be able to produce and send a couple of small specs (approx. 10" x 20") within a day or two? We're located in NC and have a really tight deadline. Thanks for any...

Hello, I just installed a new cnc and am wondering what the best way is to get 1/4" dots to print on my 4'x8' sheets without using illustrator (or similar). We're using Onyx to rip files and I was hoping there was a way so that when we open a bunch of files in production house and send them to...

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a small CNC router about 24" x 24" work area. Before you ask why not 4'x 8'? It's because I have 2 CNC shops close that do all my CNC stuff right now and although both shops do great work, they are very busy and sometimes the lead time is 2 -3 weeks. Also, I don't...
