Well today I got most the frame done and would of finished it if not for a lack of a spare blade for the horizontal band saw. Techman I may have a little more experience doing machine work and working with multi axis positioning than most of the folks on here so this thing does not scare me any...

I decided to build a router to add to the shop. I think I have read most everything I could find on available routers and build your own info. What I have designed is a 50"X100" work area 6" Z and space to add a fourth axis. The steel got here today and I'll post pics as I go. Looks like a fun...

When I do mags I just print the file first and apply the print to the mag material. The DC4SX is a lot of steel and mags stick to it well. Jimmy Welcome to signs 101 :Welcome:

I have a DC4SX and for the work I do it does fine. I don't print everyday so that was one of the reasons I went thermal. You just need to look at what you want to do and see if it suits your needs. I do a lot of smaller decals and for print and cut on one machine the accuracy is dead on. I also...

Welcome from the other side of the country Virginia and good luck with your new venture. Jimmy

I have two Graphtecs and they work great. Both are good cutters and if your local distributor is trying to sell you the Graphtec and the Roland would be from a non local source I would go with the local source. I would also take the two hours of training. I try and support my local folks as much...

load all the X3 service packs and then reinstall the latest version of cutting master and it should fix it. Jimmy

Summa has a couple of dealers carrying the materials. Oldham Group is one of them. They are the only game in town on ribbons and I just keep the three process ribons on hand and order the others as needed. They have a warehouse in Boston that has some stuff but not what they should and I think...

I have the Summa and it will work very well for what you want to do. Cost per square foot is going to be about $2.50 with the scratch guard. There have been a couple of DC4SX machines pop up for sale in the price range you are looking at. They had a special running not long ago with a lot of...

You can export the files out of corel as an eps and import them into cybercut with no problems. I do it all the time for stuff I want to cut on my designtec 60. Or you can just design in Cybercut, it's not a bad program at all. Jimmy

No calculator that I have found and not sure I would like to design one. What I look at is type of material, how many colors, how many spot colors (some are much more costly than others), time to setup a print file, and weed prep time. I tracked my actual material cost and production time on...

I have a 30" super 88 sitting in the store room that I can look at tonight and see if I can get you some ideas on what to do. Jimmy

I would do it, thats a good deal for a 30" Graphtec. Jimmy

With 10 you need to add the visual basic module. I fixed my issue by installing service pack 2 for X3 and it now works fine. Jimmy

If you are asking about would I buy another Summa, the answer is yes. I knew what I wanted to do with this printer when I got it and t has performed very well for what I do. One thing about this machine when you print a run of a couple od hundred decals and it contour cuts them they are dead on...

Ya I could use some help with mine also, are you guys going to offer support for the software or just sell it? Thanks Jimmy

I have had one for two years and there are some things it takes a while to get used to. The biggest thing you need to learn is the alignment process, calibrating the media, and what it will and won't do. Pick a couple of files based on what you need to print the most and have them run them while...

I have all the windows firewall turned off and the Norton incoming firewall is on. I tried a few things after changing the security level and get the same error. Thanks Jimmy

Its loaded, the icons are under the launcher, and still get the error. Any other ideas. Thanks Jimmy

I just got my FC700-160 setup and installed the cutting master pro software and when I try opening it up through the launcher in it gives me an error message "Running CorelDraw not found". Any ideas? Thanks Jimmy
