Too late for my 2 cents? How 'bout Sign Boss?

It's a mystery, all right. I'm sorry, Jean, but I don't have a clue. I've never encountered these problems.

I've had this problem, too. What was happening on my 4b was that the little lever that is used to raise the stylus is worn at the point where it engages the cam rod on the back side of the carriage. The wear on the lever didn't allow the stylus to be lifted high enough to clear the paper...

I've had to fix a typo on a sandblasted redwood sign before. I carefully matched the strokes of the correct letter with the wrong one and chiseled out the parts that didn't match up. Then sunk some trim nails into the panel and used these to anchor the new letter strokes which I fabricated...

I agree with Rick. That is, if I could figure out what the heck he means.:ROFLMAO:

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

Hi all, I am attempting to cut Hartco S425-15 sandblast resist on my Signmaker IVb but the lettering is not cutting right. The font is Futura, roughly 1.2" tall. I am using a brand new 60* blade at 50% speed. The trouble is that on most letters, the end of the cut does not match up to the...

Thanks, Jack.

I have the opportunity to "inherit" a used plotter but I'm unsure what driver it takes or where to obtain one. Also, getting it talking to my computer is another unknown. Can anyone help with this or point me to a link? Thanks.

Rodi, I have a suggestion for employment if you're open to it. If your old employer will be in dire straits as a result of losing you and your experience with their equipment, present the owner with a proposal to hire you as a consultant (or independent contractor) to either operate the...

Ooh man....if you truly are attempting to design your new logo by committee...well all I can say is I've never seen that end well. And Jill, about your new avatar--what happened? Did someone squish your font?

That was great, Marlene.

Actually, I kinda dig the bubble wrap as a background texture. Might want to tuck that into the back of your mind for future reference.

I'm not familiar with primer 94. Can you enlighten us?

Gary, I'm no expert (there are some here and at Letterville that are gods), but if I'm shaping a sign, I'll use HDU (15#, 18# are good) and shape it with any thing I think will get the job done. I've used chisels, rasps, files, sandpaper, knives, Dremel, whatever. Just roll up your...

What tools do you have besides a computer? Depending on how ambitious you get, you'll need all kinds of stuff. However, I recommend not tackling gold or smalts right out of the gate. I know how you feel. Boy, when the Muse gives you a kiss...

You guys can afford iPhones?! Dang...I'm in the wrong business. Oh, wait...

Bill, Love the "Spinal Tap" reference. Awesome movie.

Shore 'nuff.
