  1. Track saw or panel saw

    Do you use this saw to cut everything? Acrylic, wood, etc?
  2. Track saw or panel saw

    You are right. I'm definitely not a wood worker. But I figure the track saw will be more versatile for what I plan doing. Plus it doesn't take huge space in the shop. I think I will go with the track saw and upgrade to a panel saw later if needed to.
  3. Track saw or panel saw

    I assume you have a Makita track saw? In their specifications, it says you must have their a specific saw for it.
  4. Track saw or panel saw

    I need precision for other projects too. I didn't know the was a blade for v-groove. Do you have a picture or link?
  5. Track saw or panel saw

    And do you cut 1/2in acrylic with it? If yes, what blade do you use.
  6. Track saw or panel saw

    What model did you buy exactly? Do you cut 1/2in thick acrylic and if yes, what blade do you use?
  7. Track saw or panel saw

    Really? But the prices I've saw for track saw was between 1k$ and 2k$. I saw a Milwaukee panel saw for 2k$ but it was already sold. If 2k$ is not enough, how much should I spend to have something descent?
  8. Track saw or panel saw

    Hi! Me again. So I got some quote for the safety speed saw. Here in Canada, 7k$-10k$ depending of the accessories. I've waited to see if I could find one used but did not had any luck. I will buy a laser next week and the saw will be necessary. I assume the most economical option would be a...
  9. Colex SXC1732 vs Esko X24

    And what make you choose this machine over any other brand/model?
  10. Colex SXC1732 vs Esko X24

    I'm doing my homework to buy our first flatbed cutting machine. Right now we are between the Colex SXC1732 and the Esko X24. We will mostly use it to cut rolled material like vinyl but will start to do dimensional sign in-house instead of sub it out. For the cutting we will mostly do 1/2 thick...
  11. HP Latex 800W

    I have the 700w for 9 months now and love it so far. There was few minors problems but nothing to really shake our production schedule. With the last firmware update in august, everything is smoother. My last printer was a L260, so it's a big jump generations. For the take-up, I have an office...
  12. HP 700 take-up solution

    Does you material is square or you need to cut an arc like the page 5 in this document?
  13. HP 700 take-up solution

    I have the HP 700. With almost all materials, if I don't use the take-up, the material will jam in the curing unit even if I advance the material outside of it at the start-up. The problem with this is I lost 5 linear feet each time I load a job. For smaller jobs, that is a big lost. Right now...
  14. looking for an acrylic bending machine

    It's pretty basic machine. I'm almost sure it's China made. But at 650$, it's interesting. I've found a fully automatic machine made in Holland. I'm sure it's expensive, but if the jobs picks up, it will be very interesting to use.
  15. looking for an acrylic bending machine

    I've tried to find something local or "brand name" and did not find anything. Do you have any suggestions or link? Maybe I don't use the right keywords?
  16. looking for an acrylic bending machine

    like the title says, I'm looking for an acrylic bending machine to make mainly displays. The only one I've found so far that is interesting is this one on sign-in-china.com I would like to have some recommendations if this one is garbage. I'm planing to use it at least once every week. Right...
  17. Track saw or panel saw

    How precise are the cuts?
  18. Track saw or panel saw

    If you could only buy a track saw or panel saw to cut everything related to the sign industry (in my case mostly acrylic), what would you choose? If you have a specific brand/model in mind, I would like to know. Thanks.
  19. how to re-cut vinyl with premask

    My cutter is a summa D160R and I'm using the winplot software and illustrator. It seems doable, but with the premask, the material is very rigid and I think the cutter will not be able to cut the premask and the liner.
  20. how to re-cut vinyl with premask

    I got a Summa vinyl cutter. I have over 400 numbers to cut. I was wondering if there is a way I could cut the job, apply premask and put it back in the vinyl cutter to use the flexcut function. I know it would work on a flatbed cutter, but was wondering if it could work with roll-to-roll...
