express2100 154 Posted March 28, 2014 My first cut after setting up and testing my new Graphtec 6000-60. My wife's perfect little way of inspiring me. Simple but a pretty cool feeling clicking that "send to cutter" button. Now we're cookin with peanut oil........ 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

express2100 154 Posted March 28, 2014 Lol not cutting in the kitchen. My shop is 30' x 40'.... trying to figure out an efficient layout for the vinyl work. Thanks guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,451 Posted March 28, 2014 Express2100, the most efficient layout is one that has a long table right down the center. Do you have customers coming into the shop? They need space, too, and a front counter where you meet & greet and write up the job orders. (If you don't have one, create a basic job sheet using MS Word and keep a stack of them on a clipboard. I like using the type which has a storage compartment) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
express2100 154 Posted March 28, 2014 Customers?....Not quite yet. I'm just playin around right now. I have a long ways to go before I'm ready to offer constant quality work. I will keep it in mind for the future when setting up my shop. Appreciate any and all tips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pshawny 410 Posted March 28, 2014 I would recommend adding these things to your new shop. 1) Big squeegee like this, http://www.signwarehouse.com/p-HT-SBD-3-26.html 2) Wall rack or floor rack for rolls of vinyl, http://www.signwarehouse.com/p-SE-WALL-16B.html 3) WeberMade tape holder, http://signsplusbanners.com/itemdetail.php?sku=B55124 or http://www.uscutter.com/APPRoller-Tape-Application-Roller If you want a material catch basket you can make your own or the one from this should work, http://www.uscutter.com/Creation-24-Stand-Only-with-material-basket I used the catch basket off of my old Laserpoint and it fit nicely with no modifications. The rods will go through the gap on each side of the legs and rest on that little lip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
