That's for 2,000 8"x4"x.040" aluminum. orajet 3551/ 290 laminate mounted to aluminum before cutting. Each sign gets (4) .5" radius corners and (4) 3/8" holes, total of 8,000 corners and 8,000 holes. Takes us about 40 hrs to mount prints to substrate, shear down, punch holes, round corners...

This is great thanks. Attached a copy of a single sign and our current print file. I was thinking something similar for a jig that lets the finished pieces "fall" into it's spot after it's finished cutting, what you described makes sense. What if you were to double up your vacuum supply and...

So currently it takes us about 40 hrs of labor to complete an order, including mounting prints to 8'x4' sheets with flatbed table, probably only 3 hrs there. So pretty close time wise. I hear what you're saying about the pieces moving around after they are cut. I wonder if it would be...

It's not so much the shearing part that's a drag for us, that goes quick. It's the holes and rounded corners. I've been having this debate with myself for years now. On these 2,000 sign runs, each sign gets 4 holes and 4 corners rounded, that's 16,000 punches. We do have a decent setup, air...

The shop sabre, does it come with the camera or is that an add-on? Website is kind of vague, but the pricing looks intriguing.

On the tool changer, if all the signs have 4 holes in them, would you want to use the same bit for the holes? I assume you would cut out all the holes before cutting the perimeter.

Also could someone shed some light on this too. When doing 8"x4" signs from a 8'x4' sheet of aluminum using our current setup (shear/punch press rounder and hole punch) we yield 144 signs per sheet, with zero wasted aluminum. What would be the max for a CNC? Tool width, plus you need to leave...

Looking into purchasing a CNC, primary use would be aluminum (040, 063, 080) and dibond signs. A mix of runs, sometimes 2,000 8"x4" signs, and also smaller runs of signs. All signs would be printed vinyl/laminate mounted to the substrate before being cut down on the CNC. From my research...

Really? We use tons of 751, never have an issue. To the OP, we have seen this from time to time. Hit it with the torch and it goes right away. I've seen this on oracal, and 3m, don't use much anything else.

I have a couple vendors I use for carved signs, we don't have in house cnc. Needing to get 50+ 6"x5.25"x.125 white acrylic with raised numbers and braille. Also need to get 20+ 16"x16"x.5"PVC white, Inset numbers and borders, painted. Any good wholesale recommendations for an order as such?

Ha! Thanks, I feel dumber now. Was the big red emergency stop button on the back. In my defense, I'm the owner and don't get involved in production much anymore.. When my guys told me laminator stopped working sensor won't reset... should of checked the kill switch. Thanks,

Has anybody bypassed the laser sensor on the kala? I thouth I read about it on here but can't find it now. Something about tying the laser wires together? Have gotten used to the sensors. But today it tripped and won't reset. So I'd like to try and just bypass it for good. But if anybody...

Anybody know this font?

Thanks I really appreciate it. I'll check these out and see if they are close enough.

Similar but not the same, thanks for trying

I don't know this might be an easy one but I can't find it. Anybody know it? Thanks,

Thanks Phil. Would this yellow filter need to be removed when cutting regular white print media? Or does it work better for everything?

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Do you tape the barcode and long lines too, or just the squares along the sides?

Having trouble with our summa accurately reading/cutting printed metallic vinyl. Printed on 3m metallic silver vinyl and laminated. What happens is sometimes it will cut everything off slightly. I'm pretty sure the sensor is having trouble accurately reading the crop marks. We are running...

been fighting with them for a refund for a few months now. Super shady company do not do business with them.
