I know I may be out of line by even suggesting jigsaw here. I've just acquired a sticker printing business and have found steel rule die's to be rather expensive. We manufacture skateboards and have a CNC Porter Cable router table set up (approx 5'x12'). We use adobe illustrator to design our die lines. Lookin at the die's given to me with the business; I don't see any reason why I shouldn't make them myself and avoid paying $900.00 for one. My questions are what type of bit do I use to cut 5/8 ply for a 2pt rule? What are "bridges", or notches in the steel rule for? And do I use a our CNC to cut or a Jigsaw? Sorry if these questions require you to get carpal tunnel syndorm, any help would be highly appreciated. :cheers:
Best
