Break can't do a sharp corner though especially on 1/8 thick piece can it? The corner needs to be a sharp corner almost like an extruded alum angle (no radius or 1/64th radius)

Forgot mention: the thicknes is 1/8th.

Hi, I have a requirement to make a office sign (wayfinding) where the front of the sign in polyurethane painted 1/8 aluminum that has a sharp bend at the top towards the wall. Im not sure hot to get that perfect sharp angle. Bending will have a radius which is unacceptable. Any ideas???

Hi All I got a Rotary Engraver to make ADA signs but the cjhalenge i cant figure out is how to keep the letter edges straight (vs. beveled) and equally importantly I do not want any cutting on the substrate. Is it just done with dept control of the cutter only? Seems so hard especially if the...

Situation is this. Can't use Krylon because the color I use most is custom. We had a store make laquer based paint and put it in a can for us but there are issues with that and I don't want to use laquer. Just invested in entry level HVLP (from Home Depor). I will invest in Sata and Iwata but...

Not sure if I'm posting to the right forum. I am looking for a paint to paint acrylic with. krylon Fusion works fine but most of the time I need a custom color. Dont want to prime it either as half the time I do subsurface paint anyways. Been using a laquer based paint but want to switch to...

Thank You Rick !!! Very helpful!!! So on the second sign: If it was screwed from the face, (which it was) do you then cover the screws with a weld or something then touch up paint on the spot? (I did not see any exposed screws where there was no damage and wherever they where showing, they were...

Hi all, im new to in house monument sign making. I got pinged for several aluminum monument signs but don't know where to start. I took a look at some that are around but couldn't figure out how they are made. There is an aluminum painted cabinet attached to a frame embedded in concrete...

I'm in the same boat. No time to research or check out anything. Just keeping up with demand and outsourcing. Thinking of just flying to Vision in AZ and checking it out there and asking to cut some files for me just to see if it can or not. tell you this though. Contacted both Vision and...

GypsyGraphics did you end up getting the Vision 2550? I also wanted to hear thoughts on this. I have a very large "reverse engraved" job coming up and my vendor can not keep up and I want to get one for in house. In addition to reverse engraving, I also want to have to be able to do ADA signs...

Hey everyone, im im relatively new to signmaking so wanted to know this. I know of raster and photopolymer styles of braille making and am considering one. But we used to buy braille from this guy that used to punch them from a thin piece of lexan or something. So his were stickable lexan...

I took over the operations of a sign shop and they always used ruler and a blade to cut foamboard, large prints etc. I started looking into a trimmer after seeing employee take many hours to cut 75 1ftx1ft NFTA signs printed on a 54in paper. each 1x1 had to be cut by hand SO after checking out...
