ok thanks, ima buy some and play with it, what do you recommend i buy to start off with, and I can't open this file in sheetcam for some reason, I've tried everything i can think of, any suggestions, I'm still very new to all this cnc table stuff and softwarecsplazma1 wrote:Took a little to get used to and when they say airbrush is the best application they mean it. Only one issue I had was that my blue for what ever reason keeps coming out more aqua colored than blue. I am not getting the brilliant cobalt blue that I thought I would or as pictured in most of the pictures others post.

Re: TATTERED AMERICAN FLAG
Used the attached file to create the one in the video with automotive candy paint and clear.
Thanks to claddagh For the file!
This was my first project on the table. THC wasn't working, and i was using 85amp consumables, probably not the right feed rate... but i got it finished

Thanks man, and yes, with all of the imported knockoff stuff it's hard to compete, but there are some people out there that will have an appreciation for it.

Re: TATTERED AMERICAN FLAG
Turbo, great video. But you got quite a bit of work to do on that shop! First, it's way too clean! Second, you don't have enough clutter and junk clogging everything around the tables. If you aren't hurdling scrap, broken band saws, occasional lawn mower, boxes of misc. junk and other such nonsense, you make it look too easy. . Cheers, nice job. I think that video will do good things in educating your customer base on the effort involved and valu in what you produce.turbocobra wrote:Used the attached file to create the one in the video with automotive candy paint and clear.

Re: TATTERED AMERICAN FLAG
Lol, you are exactly right, I fight everyday to keep the clutter down, but it's hard to do, things are about to get busy and hectic here, so there will be crap slung everywhere soon enough, but I have videos to prove that it once looked nice! lol

wondering if I can get a copy of the tattered flag file, looking to make a raffle prize for a high school fundraiser.

Re: TATTERED AMERICAN FLAG
If you look back thru the thread you will find several DXF files posted, I would try the last file because they are sometimes revised and fixed to work better.dennisboyd wrote:wondering if I can get a copy of the tattered flag file, looking to make a raffle prize for a high school fundraiser.

Re: TATTERED AMERICAN FLAG
Absolutely love this dxf. I have made many now, changed things off and on to make it my own. I am so grateful and thankful for the person you shared this. I have went on to do the Texas, Confederate, Canadian and the 1776, plus many more. I do a lot of air brush with metal dyes.
Having fun creating.

how thick of metal are y'all using to cut these out? I did 16 gauge and it kinked when I bent it
