Its not ebay, its the company in china selling the vinyl art at lower then the cost of material, let alone shipping

Better feedback but says located in US but in feedback there are complaints shipments sent from china and held up in customs. Not to mention in the ad its called out as "799USD" which isnt a commonly used term in the US. IMO its better then the other you posted but still a large risk. If you have the money to gamble, have at it. Otherwise pay a little closer attention to ads and feedback.

personally i wouldnt buy from a person with 71 negatives in 12 months....41 in 6 months. a lot of broken crap and never delivered from the looks of it. Not a risk Id take

yeah i saw that. totally destroyed the market there

No lift at all even at small scale when etching on dog tags. I learned from another member on here to lower the pressure as well. Night and day different. First I was at 80psi I believe and barely got etched into glass before vinyl was deteriorating. Dropped it to 40 and was able to spend a lot more time on it and get a much deeper etch.

Dont forget China

turn impact to curves and grab the nodes to make the angles is what I would do

When Im etching with sand blaster I just use 631 anymore. 651 always left adhesive behind to clean up and 631 didnt. It holds up just as well and hasnt caused me any issues yet doing glass or metal.

Have you tried a bold Impact font?

Temperature will play a roll as well with 651 and rapid tac. It does not like to stick in that combination if surface is too cold. Doesnt take much either, I found out the hard way. I hear Rapid Tac 2 is better for colder applications.

For air brushing rc bodies I use Oracal 631. Doesnt leave residue when removed and gives clean edges

grabbed it also, thank you

I had the same idea as your second pic dakota....lol now no need to post a pic of it if I build it.

yeah its in their instructions. When I first got my cutter I printed it out. Luckily I looked up another source video which was the same as MS Skeeter's method and I didnt have the problems

When its just text, i guess it can be cut with scissors.

Ive been working a design out in my head to make a rack using 2x4's and pvc pipe. If it comes to life ill post pics and how I did it

Yes even USCutter labels the SC as "Beginner" cutters. and Graphtec as "Pro" in their buyers guide. Do I recommend the SC to someone when its their price point? Absolutely, mine has paid itself off numerous times. Is it capable of producing products like a Graphtec or similar? Absolutely not. Like i said before, some of us are interested in making and selling the best product possible. Im sure some feel their "Just fine" in what they produce, and have no urge to better what they offer.

Some of us just strive for producing better products, some are fine staying with the medium range

Welcome to the forum. Just take your time and youll do fine on your install

I have a 34" SC here is an example of how small you can cut clean

yeah mine are all from the same place and when a guy wanted a large tribal on the side of his truck, I got to looking at them and seen how horrible they were. Then went looking through the other images and blown up, same thing. Not something Im willing to sell without a bunch of clean up. Thats from the swap meet sets, and random other sets from same people.

Those "Cut-ready" packs on ebay are not that "cut-ready" I wsa looking at some of the tribal I bought awhile back and they are horrible once you blow them up. No where near what Im willing to sell to someone. So they will need a lot of work to clean them up. Basically looks like they found jpg's of the stuff they wanted to sell and just used a trace program without cleaning anything up. I wouldnt waste your money, I know I sure wont waste anymore.

Be careful on the clipart cds on the bay. They have a lot of copyright images they dont even have the rights to that they are selling

I am searching for White finished metal sign blanks roughly half the size of a standard handicap sign. I am figuring about 6x8. I have found just about every type of metal sign blank EXCEPT what Im looking for. Any of you know a place off hand where they can be found at a reasonable cost as I will be possibly ordering a couple hundred for a job. There will be reflective vinyl going on them and they need to be white. I dont want to get raw and have to paint myself if it can be helped, as I dont want paint issues down the road. If I have to Ill consider painting them with auto paint, just a headache Im trying to stay away from due to quantity.

Got it, thank you
