Brant,
You are in luck! I use the Roman 3 line font all the time - it is one of the free fonts that Roland has on the website for use with Dr. Engrave. Just go to their support page for the...

Marty,
I have the EGX-20 as well. Roland has a couple of different vice tables available already made to save you time and frustration. I know when I purchased mine several years ago I got one. I...
Mike,
try www.myvinyldesigner.com. They have a couple of different interchangeable sets that are vectored for vinyl cutting, so would work fine for lasering as well. I purchased the small one from...
Todd,
What about Laser Foil? I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but the place where I purchased my laser from stocks it and the rep was showing me items that had been done with it. It...
Garrett,
That's great! I am sure that they are going to love it.
Donald,
I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly have a husband who would be majorly jealous of your set-up. I on the other hand would be completely impressed if my husband would keep the...
Morning everyone. I have the same question, however, I am wondering if there is a good supplier in Canada for wood thins. No offense George, however, sometimes the border here is really sticky about...
John, thanks so much for that. I will give that a try.
Scott, I have managed to get it to now cut cleanly by slowing down my cut speed ever so slightly, which makes me think that it is operator...
Hi All,
I apologize in advance if this gets too wordy....
I have been working on a project here which is being both cut and engraved. Substrate is a plastic sheeting - black top coat with white...
Scott, the rapid remove was amazing - right before your eyes it was gone so to speak. You are right too, the sticky edges and slight filming that sometimes get with you are cutting were gone on...
You guys are the greatest!!!
I didn't try from the bottom up. That was just going through my head as I was sitting here pondering the whole scenario. The majority of the dust is not coming from...
Hi all,
I am throwing myself on the collective mercy of this wonderful group because I can't find a solution...
I am trying to fabricate something for a very specific usage. For this purpose I...
If you are looking for a small rotary I can highly recommend the Roland EGX-20. I have one which I use for all of my brass trophy and plaque plates. Not the fastest machine in town but it is a good...
Jani,
I have to agree wholeheartedly with some of the points which you make. I believe that there are lots of us here on the Creek that have many different processes available to us, in-house,...
Hi Mike,
I have an EGX-20 and it is a great little machine. Takes very little space on your desktop and just keeps working along. It is perhaps not the fastest machine on the market, but it does a...
Bryan,
Yes my first thought was to use the hardboard because I had heard that it cuts really nicely. I was concerned about the look of the brown edges though. Having said that though I might just...
Steve and Bruce,
Thanks for the insight. I hadn't even thought about using my rotary engraver to cut it. I will have to give that a try.
Thanks Mike!
I thought that might be the case and I didn't want to the the one to have the big mess in my machine;)
I generally cut the larger square type of stuff on the table saw as well,...
Hi All,
Does anyone happen to know if I can cut the white FRP (fibreglass reinforced plastic) which you use for sublimation?
Thanks,
Thanks Peter!
I might just be able to use one of those. We'll see what he thinks of this one.

Frank,
I did try searching and the only ones that I found were flatbeds with either a full frontal view or a full side view. I really need one that is 3/4 view with more of an eye level...
Okay, I'm at my wits end. I am throwing myself on your collective mercy! I am in dire need of a simplified 3/4 view of a tractor trailer rig for a large order which could work into several different...
Steve,
The photo prep work is all done in the Dr. Metaza software which comes with the machine. Think of it as kind of a scaled back photoshop with only one purpose - to output to the metaza...
Hi Steve,
I have an MPX-70 (the predecessor to the 80). It does a great job on the items which it is meant to do, but as Rodney points out it is very limited in what you can do on it. It is meant...
Steve and Dee,
the last pricing I got was in Nov/08. At that time (I know that the pricing can be volatile) The ranged from $6.50 (USD) for a 64MB up to $21.33 (USD) for an 8 GIG. Didn't matter...
