    HURRICANE IRMA

    I'm sitting here watching the 8am forcasted path of this huge storm and hoping for the best. Leaving the area is out of the question due to the extreme fraffic, no place to go, fear of lack of gas, delays and the fear of being out on the open road during the storm. At this time, they are recommending that we all stay where are. My area is in the direct path of this storm. We deceided to put up our shutters, secure our house and hunker down. We are not in a flood zone but as of this forcast we will be facing winds of 150+mph with higher gusts. We have many forum members in Florida and in the path of this storm. To all of them I hope they stay safe. Arty

    HURRICANE IRMA

    Great news that both you and the wife are OK. Even though the worst of the storm missed my area it was real nerve-racking listening to the wind howling outside. We had a dozen or so tornado warnings so running into our safe room(large closet) kept us tense. Every June I buy gas for my generator, add stablizer, and store it in my shed.

    HURRICANE IRMA

    Well the storm ended it's fury down here and we made it through. We were lucky that the eye of the storm missed us. We had a few fruit trees go down and got our power back last night. No damage to the house or cars. I'll be spending a lot of time with my chainsaw today. Thanks to everyone.

    Lettering not cutting clean and sharp

    Check that the blade carriage wheels are in the track properly.
  17. OK, I'll admit it. I'm an old fart!!
  18. Back in the day I used to work on these. New car prep and recalls. $1,999, plus taxes, out the door. Thanks for the memories.
  19. Post a picture of your blade carriage. Let us see what everything looks like.
  20. Did you check for a broken tip on the blade?
  21. I think I just read an emergency call for MZ SKEETER

    Pinch Roller Setup

    DO NOT ADJUST THE PINCH ROLLERS!!! The dents and cross hatch patterns will go away after installation. Too many people screw up their cutters by changing the pinch roller adjustments. I've been cutting vinyl since 2010 using 6 different machines and have never had to touch the pinch roller adjustment. Temperature will affect the vinyl in very hot conditions. That was why I stopped cutting vinyl on the road during the summer months.
