Hi

 

Running Vistool 6 on a Vision/Suregrave 1624

 

Just got a job for 125 laminate door numbers and need to work out how to set up the job so I can a large sheet of material on a sacrificial base and engrave multiple plates from the one piece, the only difference in each plate is the actual number to be engraved.

Currently I've just been repeating the engraving process on pre cut pieces of material, but this job is a lot bigger so would like to learn how to do it.

Checked in the manual and can't find anything that makes sense to me.

 

The plate size is to be 100mm x 25mm  with radiused corners.

 

Any help gratefully received!!

 

Thanks

Dave

I was just wondering on what you have spent on your Umarq machines since you've had them apart from consumables.  I've replaced spindle bearings (they had gone a bit rough) and the right curtain spring has just given up on my Uni 300. Not bad after 6 years hard use

I was just thinking about posting for info on servicing my Mastergrave Universal 280.

I've not replaced anything on mine and never had it serviced or repaired since I bought it from Mark when he was at Mastergrave, I can't remember how long ago now!!!

 

Any recommendations and prices?

We've had our Universal 300 for 5 and half years and not had to replace anything on it (yet). Had the previous one for 5 or 6 years before that and only replaced it because the 300 did more stuff.

 

Not sure what qualifies as hard use, it's working pretty much all day every day but we don't do the slate or wood that I know some of you do.

Don't set your expectations too high... ;)

 

No don't........................ What you will get though is experience and knowledge from people who use this software and machines day in day out
