I have been using a Roland EGX-300 for over a couple years now and except for the lack of 'bundled' <i>engraving type</i> fonts with the unit, I have been quite pleased with the unit ... especially since I paid approximately $5000.00 for the unit brand new, as opposed to the leading engraving manufacturer's pricing. It has its shortcomings and it is nowhere as ridgid of a setup as New Hermes and other comp unit and Roland has very minimal tech support ... would be nice to have a 'Roy Brewer' type person for a sales rep. They have a web page for engraving issues but is supported more by end users then a member of Roland. Their tech staff is helpful on issues of some basic items but next to none when it comes to engraving issues or problems. <br /> Course, who needs that with the EngravingEtc. Forum? <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> If anyone ever has a question on my experiece with Roland equipment I am allways available to help them. <hr /><a name="a1923_3"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.3">#3</a>]<br /> 10 Sep 2005<br /><b>To: John (JOHNRMONTG)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.2">#2</a>] 16 Sep 2005</p> John,<br /> <br /> When CGS gets some equipment in, I'm sure they won't mind if I come by to play. I'll be sure to test drive the equipment and offer my observations.<br /> <br /> My initial thoughts are the machine needs bona fide engraving fonts. I don't know if a chip collector is available, but if you're rotary engraving acrylic, plastics etc., they're a must. <hr /><a name="a1923_4"></a><p><b>From: John (JOHNRMONTG)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.4">#4</a>]<br /> 16 Sep 2005<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.3">#3</a>] 16 Sep 2005</p> <p>Hi David... sorry I didn't respond sooner... my confirmation email feature must not be working ... or my 'read my email' must not be! <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span> Let me know what you think. <br /> I have a 'shoe' that fits onto my engraving head for picking up chips of engraving materials that I have attached to a small shop back when I want to collect them and it works just fine.</p> <hr /><a name="a1923_5"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.5">#5</a>]<br /> 16 Sep 2005<br /><b>To: John (JOHNRMONTG)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.4">#4</a>] 16 Sep 2005</p> John.<br /> <br /> If the shoe fits, use it. <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> Is the shoe an accessory from Roland or is it something you rigged up on your own? <hr /><a name="a1923_6"></a><p><b>From: PenTrophy (PENINSULATROPHY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.6">#6</a>]<br /> 16 Sep 2005<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.5">#5</a>] 16 Sep 2005</p> Ya, I see Vacuum Noses and a Big & Wide Foot depth assembly. I have a boot for holding wine bottles and a bag for catching the water during glass engraving .......... but shoes?? can't find them....<p class="edit_text">EDITED: 16 Sep 2005 by PENINSULATROPHY</p> <hr /><a name="a1923_7"></a><p><b>From: John (JOHNRMONTG)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.7">#7</a>]<br /> 16 Sep 2005<br /><b>To: PenTrophy (PENINSULATROPHY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.6">#6</a>] 16 Sep 2005</p> Gee, I am not sure about the 'size' but it just fits over the nose cone ...maybe a 'petite' ... he he he. Anyway, its made of plastic fits over the nose cone and held there with a knurled knob and has a 3' length of plastic hose with a vacuum adapter connected to it ... it was standard on my EGX-300. Works quite well. <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1923.1">1</a>  2-7</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
