We have used both extensively. We have used 7328 1/2" white for letters and it works great but it does look different than clear with white translucent vinyl faces. 7328 white is much less bright and you get some darker shadows around the edges and corners. Doesn't look bad, just different...

With that thin of a stroke I would do either flat cut or cast aluminum, especially if they are on standoffs as they are in this application. Looks to me like those are a cast product, you can see the slight bevel on the edge and they are probably around 3/4" thick with isn't real cost effective...

Looks like AlumaMark satin brass or satin bronze material with vinyl graphics. One of the brands Johnson Plastics carries. It could be a solid metal piece like a kick plate someone mentioned or a metal laminate from Wilson Art but those are big sheets and expensive. Seems hard to justify...

Our very first piece of CNC equipment was an AXYZ 4008 router. Basic, no tool changer, mist system for aluminum cutting. It was a decent machine, didn't have a lot of problems with it. Not very fast but it was pretty old tech as far as routers go. Their new machines look really nice and I...

We buy our parts from PDS Equipment. They have a large inventory of parts and ink and will ship quickly. We purchased out Mimaki flatbed from them and they have done all of our service as well when needed.

Are you using the 'send to Enroute' button on the Flexi header or are you trying to export a flexi file as an Enroute file? Occasionally we have issues trying to import files into Enroute. Sometimes you have to fix that stuff in Flexi first then send it to Enroute. Also as astro8 posted check...

In Flexi, you can select a shape, then under the 'Edit' tab, drop down to 'Job Statistics'. It will bring up a chart that lists height, width, area, perimeter etc. You can also group a bunch of letters together and it will give you the stats as a group as well.

Visual and Tactile Requirements on Single Sign Tactile signs must have raised characters that are repeated in Grade 2 braille. In addition, they are subject to requirements for non-glare finish and color contrast for visual accessibility. Other information provided in addition to permanent...

If you scuff up the back of the dibond sheet, silicone will be a permanent adhesive option. My concern would be the wood. Plywood tends to delaminate over time especially outside where it is exposed to moisture. I would definitely properly prepare and paint the wood prior to bonding the...

We cut push thrus with vinyl faces all the time. 3/16" single spiral flute up cut bit. We mask the vinyl with normal vinyl application tape and just leave the tape on the vinyl after we apply it to the acrylic sheet. If it is a sharp bit you should get a nice clean cut on the acylic and the...

www.mcloone.com They do exactly what you are looking for. Had them make some printed metal foil decals as well and they turned out great.

We did something similar when we needed to attach some RPC aluminum letters to glass front building for a customer. We bonded full letter backs to the windows with smaller pieces of a specific VHB tape and used window glazing silicone specifically made for bonding windows. The area of the...

We hang alot of ACM panels (building numbers and such) with some home made stud cleats. We stud weld aluminum studs onto .040 aluminum cleats, mostly 2" wide and 4" tall. Apply a couple strips of VHB tape to back of cleat. You can then apply that cleat to the back of an ACM panel. That stud...

Rivet Nuts would work great but the issue is the installation of the panel when you are finished. They stick out the back of the sign so they can't mount the panel flush to the wall. 3mm ACM is floppy, if its not mounted flush to the wall it will be wavy unless you make some furring strips or...

These guys do great work! They have done several projects for us in the past :thumb:

We basically do the same thing as Moze but with a different brand of drop in anchors. I do like how shallow those Hilti's are tho, might have to check those out. We typically use 1/4-20 threaded versions with some short eye bolts in the anchors, 1/8" stainless cable. We always have someone...

Ours has been outside in Phoenix metro since 2008 with zero issues. We did pour a small concrete footing to anchor the legs and have a nice place for the 55 gal drum that collects your dust and chips. I don’t recall getting a permit for a dust collector. It’s like installing an air compressor...

We have a system from Oneida Air Systems. It sits outside and we ran some round metal ducting to our CNC shop and woodworking shop. They should also be able to help design the system and determine what size pipe to run where, where to step down to smaller pipe etc.

Ya those mounting angles are waaaay to small. We would have probably used a full aluminum backer that you could bond the entire sign too. Use flat head machine screws to mechanically fasten the angle to the backer before you bond the sign on. It doesn't have to be the full size either, just...

Our second machine was a 10 year old at the time used Multicam 5000 series with a 5'x10' bed. It was in great condition and supposedly had very low usage as a prototyping machine. We worked with a local Multicam repair tech to upgrade the machine with a registration camera and update the some...
