Anybody have any suggestions on some 8" blades used for a panel saw to cut substrates like Acrylic/PVC? Aluminum too

Thanks

I used to get them from safety speed cut and get ripped. I just replaced mine with one I got from my local fastener store. Not sure of the brand but its a 60 tooth non ferrous blade. Its awesome

as many teeth as possible. I do have good luck with the standard blade that goes on the cordless 20 V saws. just gotta be going full bore before hitting it.

carbide tipped blades are the best choice--60 or more teeth are the best

feed at a moderate speed to avoid chipping

too fast and you will get ragged edges

put the aluminum between some hard board or thin plywood to get a cleaner cut

make sure this sandwich is pushed down against the back board firmly

Diablo sounds about right, HomeDepot special about $45, I use it for abs but after a couple hundred cuts it starts sticking to the sides, but maybe I'm asking for too much.

We bought drill bits and saw blades from " Bad Dog " Tools. You see them at the sign shows. Drilling and cutting everything and anything. We have good luck with them and just returned a chipped saw blade.

They replace any item FREE ..no questions asked. Baddogtools.com

We have been using their tools for years and no issues

      Skyhook 100hd cable sizes

      By Elite Sign & Lighting · Posted

      It would be the cable appropriate to fit in the sheave size, measure what is on there currently. And 2.25 - 2.5 times longer than the fully extended boom length. You can probably find the least required number of wraps on the winch drum.

      Digital Signage is Revolutionizing Hospital Communication: 6 Big Advantages

      By wipathcommunications · Posted

      Hey everyone, I wanted to share some insights I recently explored about how digital signage is transforming communication within hospitals and healthcare environments. Whether it's patient experience, internal messaging, or emergency alerts — digital displays are making a huge impact. Here are 6 key benefits I discovered: ✅ 1. Reduced Perceived Wait Times Waiting in hospitals can be stressful. Digital signage helps by displaying health tips, entertainment, or wait time updates to ease patient anxiety and improve their experience. ✅ 2. Real-Time Emergency Alerts In urgent situations, hospitals can use digital screens to instantly broadcast important alerts or emergency codes across departments — faster and more effectively than overhead systems. ✅ 3. Improved Staff Communication From shift updates to meeting reminders, internal digital boards streamline communication and reduce confusion among staff, especially in larger facilities. ✅ 4. Wayfinding Made Easy Navigating hospitals can be confusing. Interactive digital maps and directional signs help visitors and patients get to their destination without constantly asking for help. ✅ 5. Promoting Health Campaigns Hospitals can use signage to promote wellness programs, flu shot campaigns, or COVID updates — all in a visually engaging way that captures attention. ✅ 6. Better Patient Engagement Screens in waiting areas or patient rooms can be used for educational videos, treatment FAQs, or even personalized messages — creating a more informed and connected patient experience. I wrote a full article diving deeper into each of these, if anyone wants to read more: https://www.wipath.com/top-6-advantages-of-using-digital-signs-in-hospitals/ Would love to hear your thoughts — are you seeing digital signage being used effectively in your hospitals or clinics? Cheers!
