Thanks Dave, I have the drawing in AutoCad and thats what we use to get the x, y, coordinates. I have done some searching and found some free programs that will create the G-code from bmp file, but doesn't do the arcs. thanks,

Hey Pete, actually it cuts in quadrants. Attached is a pic of what we have cut. Now I need to modify it and will have to refigure how to cut it. The hard part is cuting the quadrants. But I guess thats what practice is for.

I am cutting some lips out of lexan and I am using an old CNC. The part I am having trouble with is cutting the circles. Is there a simple draw program, (that I can afford) that will write the G -code. I have to enter this on the keypad on the CNC. The hard part is When entering the circle, I need "I" and "J" coordinates. A friend of mine is helping with this and we are using the book that tells how to figure this, but it does not always work like we think it should. I have access to a program that generates the G-code, but it is only x and y values. The CNC has a Bandit controller. I don't know enough about this to know if I am asking the right question. We have cut some successfully and now we have to modify the drawing and I need to cut some other sizes. Any help would be appreciated.

I have poured Tin in a do-it mold and it pours like lead. I always thought it was easier to pour than lead. It is slightly thinner than lead. Dosn't need to be as hot. Spru is harder to break off. I have poured a lot of Bismuth/Tin 60/40, in spincast molds and it pours good but it is different. It melts at 240F, but I heated to 420F so it would pour good. I have poured Bismuth in a do it mold but when you break it off it doesn't break off very good. It is brittle, it leaves a very rough spot where you break it off. I haven't tried the Bismuth/Tin in a do it mold, but It should work. I added the tin to the bismuth so it would break off smooth. The bismuth is 85% the weight of lead. Tin is somewhere around 60%, not for sure.

Thanks Ted. I'll try more coats to see if that helps, I may not be getting enough on. Its hard to tell and to get more on with electrostatic.

I bought this from Component Systems and painted some leadheads with electrostatic gun and they looked gray, the powder is transparent I guess and the lead is showing through. Next I painted some white, baked them and then painted the glow over the white but they don't seem to glow. Now the jigs glowed before I baked them and the Glow paint lit up my paint booth. Does anybody paint White Glow and do you do something different? I have sprayed (liquid) phosphorescent over a white base before and they had a really good glow. thanks,

I have used their thinner several years ago. I think it is fine. Now I buy from a local paint dealer, it is a little cheaper. It is MIBK, Methyl Isobutyl Ketone. Nasty stuff. They have to order it special for me, they don't keep it in stock. I am hoping to switch over to water base vinyl paint. I'll have to do some test runs to see if it works for me. I have used Acetone and can't decide if I like it with the vinyl paint or not.

I mix mine 1 to 1 with thinner. I have some vinyl that is really thick. I bought all of mine from Component.

Thanks!

FET is a manufactures tax. It does not make any difference what you paid for your components, (e.g. sales tax and/or FET) you still need to collect/owe 10% of the sale at the manufactures/wholesale level. In order to deduct FET already paid, you need a way to prove this, like an invoice with the FET stated on the invoice. I sell at the wholesale level and I add the FET at the bottom of the invoice, just like you would sales tax. Hagens, Worth Company, Shorty Hook Sales all invoice the same way. Shortys is not a manufacturer but can sell without FET providing that you have a Form 637 on file with them. It is not to be collected at the retail level and thats a whole different discusion.

I can send you an invoice by way of Pay Pal. Give me your email. Shipping $5 Thanks David

Mustad Ultra point 5/0, Baked on Black Powder Paint I only have 17 of these. They have a 5/32 base Weed Guard. I have some bigger and some smaller sizes. I will post these as I get them counted. Once these are gone there will be no more.

Yes, I still have some. $5 for shipping. Thanks,

Also on the Antimony, you should do a search on this, it is toxic also, worse than lead in my opinion. The Tin dosen't seem to be as bad. It is what they use for lead free solder.

I have some lead that is 20% Antimony, 80% Lead. And I have some Tin I could sell you to mix with this, if you don't need too much.

The FET is paid on the selling price at the manufacturers level, when the lure is complete. If you buy your components with FET added, you can deduct that from what you owe when you file your form 720 quarterly. When you sell your product that you manufactured, you have your profit added to the selling price. That is when you pay the FET, on the selling price.

$5

Where to ship to?

I have a list Weedguards on my website under overstock stuff. Click on the download file under the weedguards and there is a list of several sizes and colors.

First you will need a Federal Identification Number. You get that from the IRS web site. It is free. Then you will fill out a form 637, this is from the IRS also. They will send you a questionnaire asking about your business. Then after they approve you Form 637, you will use this to buy components without FET. Then every quarter you will be sent a Form 720, you fill it out and send then a check for 10% of your sales.

Yes, I plan on being there Saturday. I wish you could make it, we might need to unlock some cars.
