Great, any experience with the single O flute that Ditchmiester mentioned ? I have a local guy who makes these for me, solid carbide, great quality...makes them in 2 days, much faster than ordering them online and surprisingly enough, cheaper. He can also sharpen them if they're at least 4mm...

I know, I know...lasers and optical sensors, great and all the rage and I'd love to just buy a Zund, but we're on the shoestring budget and as far as accuracy goes the method I tried is very accurate as well. As long as you line it up properly you can probably get away with a 5-10mm bleed. How...

What the guys said but I wouldn't go with GoDaddy. I hate them with a passion. Terrible service, terrible site interface. I personally use namecheap and can recommend them highly. I have hundreds of domains with them (I have a background in internet marketing). Our of curiosity, how do you...

Thanks for the recommend but the whole idea here is saving time and being able to do complicated shapes so post-application contour cut is pretty much a must. oh and yea...having a full sized CNC is a huge advantage. First because it saves money but second and in my opinion more importantly you...

Could you post a picture ?

I've tried it today and the results were pretty much as I imagined. I'm thinking I'll need a 10mm bleed when doing this and it needs to be perfectly aligned with the edges of the work table but that's all manageable. One thing I didn't expect though and that could be a problem is the vinyl...

So you do them one by one ? The reason I'd like an automated solution is so that I can set it all up and continue doing some other work instead of doing this the whole day. That's a whole day wasted not doing something else.

Basically what WWD said below. You have no legal right to the software which is probably the main reason most people buy their software instead of just getting it off a torrent. I agree completely. If you don't legally own the software what's the point in buying it ?

We already have a small CNC router but we are looking to buy a 3x2m machine to get maximum efficiency when cutting sheets (foamex and acrylic around here are 3.05x2.05m). One thing that we do a lot and would like to do on the CNC is contour cutting of printed and applied images on a substrate...

First thing I would do is go the IP setup in VersaWorks and click on Verify. If it can't connect to the printer you have a few options. Try restarting the printer, obviously the first thing you should do. Had this happen a few times, wouldn't connect restart fixed it. Then go into the...

The seller may mean well but you can't sell used Adobe software. It's part of their license. Even if you buy it you don't have any rights to it and if the previous user contacts Adobe he can basically say someone else activate his software and they can cut you off. You can't transfer the license...

We had a similar issue months ago with our VS-640. Prints would have banding on them and cuts wouldn't be accurate. Dealt with the dealer for a while, they wasted a lot of our time. One of their guys came out and concluded that the servo motor controlling the feeds must be shut. Then they...

Wrote a long *** post...session expired, text gone.

I don't personally care if they lose money on the heads or not, if I could I would buy them cheaply under any circumstance. Don't want to dig into it too deeply but: 1) I don't think they would have sold a lot more printers if the head was cheaper. Besides the head isn't something you...

The 30mm is not really a requirement, more of a curiosity. We have a CNC mill and we'll be cutting it with that so we can ignore it for the laser at this point. The ability to cut 10mm though is extremely important to us. In your experience what is the lowest wattage you can cut 10mm at and...

Hey everyone, We're finally looking to buy a laser, probably in the next few days. I don't know a lot about lasers (hence why I'm opening this thread) so I'm not sure which one to pick. From research I've done before I know that 80w would probably be ideal for our use. I've been looking...

So I've spent an hour experimenting with the laminator. It takes me 8 minutes to roughly cut up some vinyl for a 1.2mx0.80m piece of cardboard, apply a few centimeters and then do the rest through the laminator. I've picked cardboard because if you're applying anything to cardboard, if you...

Thanks all for the suggestions. I just talked to one of my boys that has applied vinyl with a laminator. From what he told me it isn't a lot faster than applying with the small squeegee, one of my original reservations of doing it with the laminator. It's just that by the time you align the...

Frankly that looks quite slow and tedious to do. My guys can do a surface like the one showed in about the same time manually with a small squeegee and it's less tedious to do than through the laminator. Is the example in the video the only/best way to go about it ?

I've talked to Dale regarding the big squeegee and we're probably ordering a whole bunch of them for applying vinyl faster. Still would like to know experiences of the guys on here about doing big jobs with a laminator.
