Another one-stop moulding shop http://www.smooth-on.com/ (represented out here by www.amtcomposites.co.za)

Those two are the same; Reynolds Advanced Materials provides the Smooth-On line of products. I don't know if that's from a past acquisition or not.

Thanks for the input, guys.
I went to Hobby Lobby this time, because it was convenient, and I had a 24 hr. deadline before he had a huge job to stamp.
He was MORE than happy to pay the $20 US for the material to meet the deadline.
I'd definitely look for a cheaper source if I were to do very many.

Have a friend of mine doing cleanup work on the monogram font...its definitely getting closer. A little more work on a couple of the interior curves, and this letter will be good to go. What a labor intensive job.

That looks the B uisness.
What material ?

What diameter cutters ? or was it a scroll/fretsaw attachment for #101 ?

If someone is used to looking at vectors, they would pick it up but for most people it looks good as is.

now that is really awesome, has anyone tried a laser on their MM yet?

silverdog Tue 22 September 2015 15:49

Lasers are very light as they don't have any force on the tool,the Mechmate would not be competitive against them. And lasers machine (co2 100watts) are very cheap compared to Mill machines ...

Hey Darren, how have you been?

darren salyer Sun 17 April 2016 15:39

About the same, Pete. Been doing a few things, but nothing real earth shattering.

Robert M Thu 21 April 2016 12:51

I'd say....we're pretty much all riding in the same boat... :rolleyes:

Hope you are not up the creek without oars.

Al....in my book ( and neck of the woods)

Coool ...

How is everything now Darren?

darren salyer Wed 13 July 2016 14:25

Hey Pete.
Haven't checked in in a few days.
Doing a little better. Totally out of the Remodeling game now. REmoving that stress was definitely nice, but I miss the fun stuff and the money.
Too poor to call myself retired, but doing enough with the CNC to keep the bills paid.
Nothing earth shattering, unfortunately.
How's tricks in your neck of the woods?
