Thanks Evan! Let me show off some of your great design and installation work up with the Minnesota sunset in the background---after all---fabrication is just one small step in the whole process.

Vectric vcarve has a feature called photo v carve where a photo is made by cutting into material with v bit. The photo below is carved out in mdf using v bit, painted black, then sanded. This is a cool application that I hope to someday use but I pretty much just do channel letters so I'm...

I use vectric vcarve software and love it. Very user friendly and easy to learn. You can place bridges wherever you want. With bridges or tabs you can cut 1 in squares all day and not have any mess ups.

A pressure foot simply puts downward pressure around the router bit holding it down where most needed. A bridge is just a small section left uncut that is small enough to break off but usually will need a pass or two with a file to smooth out. AXYZ is the only company I think I've seen that has...

My 2 cents....with dust collectors make sure and keep the vacuum hose large and don't reduce it at any point, keep the hose distance short, and find a collection bag/cylinder that doesn't get clogged and offers little resistance. The best option for performance is blowing it directly outside...

I think you would get better illumination if you added a baffle in the middle and make it 6 inches deep. The baffle could be made out of Lexan and would provide a safer surface to mount your LEDs illuminating both directions. Let us know if your method works. It might just be small enough...

I've looked into this as well. You could order a set from Sign Fab called "Wowee" channel letters and see if you like or can sale the product first. I really only see disadvantages in using it but the future may hold a different story. I believe if you were okay with the layered or...

I guess it depends a little bit on your budget. A used Shopbot is a great starter router because they are inexpensive and they have lots of available forums and technical support as well as you can replace a control card for $100 instead of $1000 to get them fixed. If you want a higher end...

Sorry to reply to an older thread but I believe Souldar is 100% correct, polycarbonate is subject to crazing caused by several types of solvents and this can be seen also in the substrate guide for matthew's paint. I have sometimes accidentally used acetone to clean a polycarbonate backer for a...
