framing a dvd case

Always something new isnt there? I've got a customer wanting to frame some dvd cases, some are still sealed and others are signed. They're quite valuable and the customer would like them to remain as intact as possible, with the cases standing proud of the backing rather than flush. I was thinking a...

Re: CMC - basic info please

I went for a Wizard 9000 in the end. I'd call it well worth the investment and I think I'm still only really getting to grips with it. Lots still to learn but for accuracy and ease of doing odd shapes etc it's excellent. Not to mention time saving. Good luck!

Re: Framers Mate

Hiya

You're far too far from me to get this i'm afraid. Is there any chance you could point me in the right direction as to where to buy them new?

Thanks

Compressors

My compressor died this morning. Funky smells from a burnt out motor. It was a cheap, oil free, chinese made one from ebay for about £150 a couple of years ago. Only ever intended as a stop-gap after my last old Bambi died. Looking for recommendations for a reliable, oil free compressor. Ideally 50L...

Re: CMC - basic info please

Thanks all for your replies. Graham - did you opt for the Gunnar in because it can cut the thicker boards? Another reason I’m considering a CMC is to save my hands from cutting the mounts. I’m 32 and have been working as a framer for 16 years, but I also have a couple of health issues. Although it’s...

Apologies if this topic has been covered before. I have never used a CMC but have been toying with the idea of buying one. none of my local competition has one and my thinking is that it could make me stand out from the crowd as well as increasing what i am able to offer (hopefully increasing profit...
