Thread: Trotec rotary and glass.

  1. #1

    Trotec rotary and glass.

    I'm so impressed with the rotary from Trotec, I think it could handle a full champagne magnum. These glasses take just under 2 minutes so unless I had high multiples of the same I think it's faster than sandblasting. Anyway, if you're thinking of one, I am totally sold on mine. If you're in CTX and you want to check out a Trotec up close, give me a ring.

    I'll be ordering the rotary gadget in January. I just turned away a job that would have paid for it.

    Did you just order hte tapered cones or did you get the wheels also? I am looking at purchasing one, but can't decide which option to go with. Trotec also has 3 jaw chucks available for these units.

    It came with the cones. I've used the roller type on a 300 and this type is better in my opinion, very little chance of misalignment and no chance of slipping. I balked when I heard the price initially, but seeing how substantial it is and using it so easily, I don't regret at all.

    I'm definitely buying it worth the new Speedy 300 I'm buying. Can't wait!

    That guy is a reseller. You can probably get it cheaper from your agent if you're buying a machine.

  8. My rotary attachment is still sitting in the crate. Looks kinda intimidating. I'll have to get my nerve up and try it one of these days.

    It's surprisingly easy. Look on engrave.ca for a tutorial or give me a buzz anytime.

    I take it the angle of the unit in the pic means the articulation is built-in? If so, I like it! I do that with mine, but it wasn't a 'built-in' feature! I prop up the one end with rolls of tape or whatever, then screw the hole thing down tightly to the table. Not used to seeing the 'business end' of the unit on the RIGHT side of the machine... And, I still think they should offer a 3-jaw chuck. (unless they already do?) -- SO much more useful than just cones...

    I know many of you sandblast, and love it, and I've seen video's of people doing it... But seriously, it just seems WAAAYYYY too labor intensive, and too many steps! Not for me...

    Adjustment is built in and nothing left to chance Kev. It is set up in reverse to what is usual over here. The thinking is that it was set up to engrave steins and the have a reverse tilt. Simple enough to overcome though. Kinda like driving on the left

    Yep i love mine.

    I did some nutri bullets on the weekend, although it took some modifications to get them right, also some glass jars
