I'm all set up & official, so I can now buy Corian through Hallmark for 'Commercial' use, which limits me to what I can do with it. DuPont is strict with who gets to buy & use Corian, and what they get to use it for, therefore Hallmark is just as strict. They have a large stocking warehouse in Denver, which isn't too far from me. They're based in Wisconsin, and I thought I was going to have big shipping costs added to anything I order. Now I have to figure out how to paint letters.Ībout to do an article in SignCraft about this machine.Xxray: I'm in Zone 8, so Hallmark is my distributor. I purchase a bunch of letters from Gemini and Steel Art and now I can cut my own. I should be able to cut prismatic letters. I was using the software that came with the machine but about to purchase Aspire VCarve Pro for $700. It is capable of 3D machining not just 2D cuts. I've been using it for about 5 months now and I've probably invested $4k in the machine and material and router bits, teaching myself to use the machine. There are different router bits that you have to figure out. You have to wrap your head around 'feeds and speeds' controlling how fast the router moves and how deep it cuts. There is a bit of a learning curve learning new software. I've had nothing but success with this machine. If it did not work out it would not be the end of the world. I was not sure it this would be a good tool for my one man shop but I figured it was $2k. I have no previous experience using a router although I have always worked in shops that had a cnc but I worked in the design department so I've never ran one of these. I'm not real handy with tools but I assembled in half a day. Actually it was pretty easy to get good results.
