"Upside is the little bit extra I pay for the service is far less costly than me trying to bull through it using incorrect tools and processes." INCORRECT TOOLS? give me a break, before there was cnc machines, we all somehow managed with the incorrect tools.

you're rude and arrogant for posting BS like this "With your screen name, I had thought you knew about how to machine aluminum. From your other posts, it's fairly obvious you don't." by the way. sanding 3003 series aluminum on a 60 grit sander would clog it up in seconds, you give horrible...

He's not trying to help me. He just has his own agenda and a big mouth. If he actually wanted to help he would of read the question and actually answered it. INstead he goes off on a personal attack because he can't read my posts. I already know I can trim and router it, obviously becuase I...

Letterman you are rude and arrogant. Just put you on my ignore list so I dont' have to read your crap.

whole point of my post is to see if I canavoid using a jig saw.maybe reread what I wrote.? we cannot make a mdf template because the aluminum bends are not consistent enough since they are done by hand not via CNC machines

would a bit like this work? http://www.amanatool.com/bits-fv/aluminum-spiral-bit-51402.html it doesn't have a bearing, but it looks short enough to just rub against a template.

pictures of routing 1/8" thick aluminum diamond plate perhaps some photos would give you a better idea of what I am doing On the left is a 24x30" piece of 1/8" thick diamond plate on the right is the almost finished product. Under the diamond plate is a 1x0.5" piece of bent rectangular tube...

I've been flush trimming some 3003 diamond plate aluminum using a solid carbide 1/4" up cut bit http://www.precisionbits.com/solid-carbide-flush-trim-router-bit-spiral-upcut-1-4-shank-yonico-14121.html My technique is to use a jig saw to trim the edge down to within about 1/16th of final shape...

post individual videos as well. feel free to post individual youtube videos links as well. Right now I'm looking for a good one that explains all the different aluminum extrusions and how they go together to form a sign. Specifically why there are so many different retainers and case...

THANKS, i do not use a router that much so the vacuum trick is new to me. appreciated.

that's a pretty cool tool in that you tube video! but it only goes up to 1.5"!:omg: Yes I could probably make one, I have some 1/2" aluminum plate lying around. but my time is worth way more than my workers, LOL. Are there any other cool ways to efficiently router corners manually. I have to...

called lassoc and the biggest die they make is 1.5" checked ebay and the biggest die is 1.5" thanks anyways.

if they did 10 an hour that would be 6 minutes a piece to cut the 4x10' sheet down with a track saw, to 20x30" pieces use removable double sided tape to mount on jig, router, remove tape and repeat. do you have a better work flow? I think by the time you factor in track saw cutting time ten per...

this is for a new product we are making, we expect to sell about 200 a year, so not a huge volume. we might make a jig and hand route them. a sign shop a few miles down has quoted $5 per rectangle to route all 4 corners using cnc. my workers would have to do more than 10 an hour to make it...

heated up some transmission oil and it stunk like crazy, after 7 to 10 minutes on the stove it got up to 350F and dipped the plastic in and it bent, but there is no way I will be stinking up my place again like that. Maybe I'll just blow $100-200 on some strip heating elements

this unit will be transported a lot, acrylic would crack within a month. I'm going to try some hot oil on fiberglass cloth and see if that works. to spot thermobend it. did some research and found that bubbles are caused by water vapor makrolon the company recommends that the plastic be dried...
