  1. Galvanized Metal bending and cutting

    As of now its 46" high, 8" wide, would have cut out vertical lettering, and 2 bends to make it like a free standing sign. Plus more details in the drawing.

I am wanting to use duratrans but the company I wanted to use that totes 4000dpi says they can't offer the oversized (larger than 48") because Kodak stopped making...
  4. Covid Sick Time?

    My boss is very nonchalant about reminding me that since i'm not vaccinated, he wont pay for my days if I get sick with Covid. It was super awkward when he was the one to get it over the holiday and new year.
  5. Vinyl image onto karate mats

    Customer wants to get his logo onto jigsaw style karate mats. They are textured and don't really allow things to stick to them. I'm thinking that they direct print or something but even that seems like it would flake off after repeated wear (pressured Has anyone done something like this...

    Thanks everyone for their suggestions and advice! I live in California, don't have an on staff engineer to confirm these things with (changing that in a few months hopefully), and the wall is a super textured stucco. Not going to move forward with this client based on the above principal that...

    Client is requesting large dimensional letters, each one is around 46"x46". To be mounted to building front, WITHOUT using studs or hardware of any sort.

  14. Roland Tech service quote $$ Are you serious?? $$

    For newer machines, a service manual can cost $10, but literally gives you visual/verbal directions on replacing parts, this is what I always recommend especially if your being asked to source the parts yourself.
  15. Attaching standoffs with adhesive

    70 holes doesn't take long if you have a template to use, I used to do this all the time and it only takes 10-15 mins, once you get going, they go quick, just pause every row or so to let the bit cool down some. Small bits to drill small holes isn't as hard as medium holes close to the edge of...
