    merge/ import

    I am doing some baseball cutouts, names and numbers, for rear windows. Is there a way to merge names and numbers into signblazer. I hope I can explain this. I have 25 ball players I am using a silloette with players number on it, and players last name below. Can I import the # and name from a list, similar to merging an address list into a word prossesing program, or is each one done individualy. Thanks, Mark

    size of cutter

    I have noticed the 24" cutter going on E-Bay for around $300.00, or 34" buy it now for $289.00 plus $65.00 shipping. For an extra $50.00 seems like the 34" is a good deal, or is there an advantage to the 24". Thanks, Mark
  10. My machine , mh871 is cutting great, could some one tell me what the pressure setting really means. I have mine set at 120 and cuts great. Thanks. Mark

    outline

    For the life of me I cannot figure this out, The UScutter logo has the US in a solid color with an offset out line, I cannot figure how to get the outline offset in proportion to the US. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Mark

    Hello from Ohio

    I have been a woodworker and primative sign maker for 25 years , mostly as a hobby. I am 54 years old. I have not purchased a machine yet, it seems this would be good place to get that advice. I would like to use as a stencil cutter mostly, so I can personalize a sign or furniture piece, also can I use a software such as corel draw to do the graphics and lettering design. Thanks, Mark

    sign cutting

    I have been hand lettering signs for 25 years or so, I am a little confused, if I purchase a 24" cutter and my type is say 2" in height and 36" long , can I turn my type 90deg. and cut. I hope I explained this clearly. Thanks, Mark
  15. I read the tutorial on set-up. It suggest a speed of 60. I have a mh 871 , the highest speed rate seems to be 48. I want to cut small letters 1/2" or so maybe smaller, should I use a slower speed for small type, also what is the smallest type that can be cut. Thanks, Mark

    Hello from Ohio

    Received my machine last week, first cut yesterday, went to art school back in the day ,1974, no computers, all hand lettering and illustration. company went out of business. I have been with the Post Office for close to 27 years. I thought this would be a good supplement for retirement. Both of my kids are in the fire service my daughter is an EMT,my son is a paramedic/ firefighter, thought I would start out doing something for them, they make me proud. Makes me feel good to be creative again. Mark

    Let's see your company logo(s)!

    This is a logo I designed a while back, will this be an easy to cut. Thanks, Mark
  22. I must be getting old, I cannot figure this out, I keep getting this message"Can not open the output device error initializing cutter "I had to buy a new serial port cable, the one that came with the machine is to short for my location of cutter to PC. Can this cause a problem, also should pause light always be on? Thanks Mark
