Hellawell Custom's Project Thread

Yes amazon.ca is what we use. With the new business I am getting I might just invest in prime. Just got to find cheap prices that offer prime
So far 7-8$ is the norm.

Just bought 5 of these bad boys for 60$ Decided to upgrade to the 1/4" instead of the .125" Hoping that solves my jaged edge issue on my acrylic glass. The 90IPM seems to vibrate like crazy. I seem to be getting lots of sales for LED Signs. So I’m also considering setting up some sort of compressed air setup to cool the bit.

Another way to cool the bit is to make a tank that will hold water and carve the acrylic submerged :slight_smile:

Would you mind supplying the link to these bits? They look interesting and the price seems good.
Thanks!

Damn it! …

I’ll see if I can find them on amazon.ca. Have you ever found engraving bits like those in a 1/4" shank? That’s the main reason I bought the ones above, kind of sucks I just spent 60$ and now I find out they won’t be the greatest :frowning:

I’ve spent quite a bit of time on acrylic threads in this forum, all just suggest a 20 or 30 degree engraving bit. So I figured when the listing said 30 degree engraving and scoring bit I figured great this should work no problem, and even better it has the 1/4" shank. Never seen the flat tip suggestion, not saying it wasn’t mentioned,

Haven’t been on the forums in a while! Been super busy with a new venture I am working on and these signs have kept me real busy as well. I have probably sold about 70-80 signs now. Here is one I did for a local towing company. Oh and I finally got a DSLR Camera :stuck_out_tongue:

On the acrylic or in the power supply?

I’m just joking. I’m having some fun at Phil’s expense.

Signs are looking great! I cant wait to get a machine and start making stuff.

Side note… I am going to change my screen name to “Blue Locktite”. That way, every day I will get mentions on the forum.
