Have seen a fair amount of your work around (I forget if it was magazines or where) and it always looks great. Any pictures of recent projects to show off? What size shop or equipment are you running in retirement?

I run into this frequently as well. How we treat it usually depends on customer history. If it is a low-value account (customer) that is shopping around I will usually just quickly send over whatever files they provided initially, I'm being helpful but not giving away my work (assuming I have...

I don't do a lot of volume but have had good results with pretty much any good quality single O flute upcut bit for acp (usually maxmetal or bebond prem.) I mostly use Amana (from toolstoday) and LMT Onsrud (63-xxx series iirc). Sometimes you can catch sales on amazon for 50% off on onsrud bits...

From what I have heard orafol is having a hard time getting raw materials in (not sure what) but most of their popular products are drying up FAST. I'm glad I was able to get a few rolls of black 751 on closeout from a supplier that was transitioning but I am burning through it fast.

I was talking about the 3m and Avery products that were mentioned, but yes their website inventory is less than reliable.

Send pics of your results please! I have used the 3M 8900 brushed lam with good results.

Looks to me like fellers has both in stock...

I agree with JBurton, good stuff with warranty is 10x cost (at least) of the amazon/ebay stuff and there are loads of offshore etsy sellers for this type of signage. Something to look into is that GSG supposedly wholesales this kind of sign but I suspect they just pass it along to some overseas...

I have the same experience with gnubler. I get their bid requests frequently and rarely even bother to look. I had one experience with them that I will share, not to slam anyone, just to provide my experience as requested by Gino. We get a bid request (one of the first few I received from them)...

Have you looked into ackland frames?

I found this interesting a couple of years ago when looking into vortex tube coolers. I don't run any coolant but also do low volume aluminum cutting usually 063 and 080. Like others have said the right bit will do the job, but I have no doubt that coolant or lubricant would make the same bit...

Take a look at his books and as others have mentioned look at ONLY the big orders each year and if they are consistent, basically if the top 10 clients in sales each year are consistent and can support the business I would likely move forward, if not probably pass, maybe pass along to someone...

I agree 100%, I guess my point was that there are some customers that are unscrupulous enough to want an extra "freebie" out of an $11 job just to see what they can get away with. I personally avoid that type of customer as I'm sure most of you do, but I would bet S365 and other wholesalers deal...

I thought the same thing, why wouldn't they just hit reprint and call it a day, but then I thought about it and came to the realization I would do the same thing. As someone else mentioned they probably make next to nothing on an $11 order. Now put yourself in their shoes and replay this...

I was really interested in them until I looked at the cut speeds and stuff, would be super fun to play around with but I just don't see it getting much practical use. Sounds like your experience confirms that notion. I was surprised at the garnet usage but really that's no big deal if you are...

I would look into UL catalog as that might give you the manufacturer (if its not actually gemini). I would take a look but don't have the time tonight, keep us posted if you find them, they are useful. Maybe put a call into MBS standoffs, they have really been stepping up their game.

Mcmaster has some plastic ones but not clear. https://www.mcmaster.com/corner-brackets/material~plastic/

Depends on your rep but yes, definitely a game that they play, and a silly one at that. I used to have a rep that stopped by the shop and wrote a list of everything we used commonly and a few things we might get from them if pricing was good. He called a few days later and said he adjusted our...

Not sure exactly why but this winter has seemed to be extra long, I'm over the double digits below zero and ready for the spring thaw.

No problems so far for me.
