Engraving machines

Post by Trevor Harvey » Wed Oct 07, 2020 11:22 am

Does anyone have, and can advise on the usefulness of these small £180 ish CNC engraving machines? What and how is GRBL programming about?
I was well familiar with CNC programming 15 yrs ago before I retired, but seem to be somewhat out of date with this stuff.
Text engraving for switch/CB identifying labels.
Help please.

Trevor Hi.
I needed 6 separate labels for a upgraded panel and chose self adhesive Traffolyte White on Black Labels 25mm X 15mm but can be smaller. With VAT and Delivery was £13.00.
Take a look at this Company. They were extremely obliging even though a small order.

Hi Gerry.
Thanks, I may try them. Though the notion of making them out of brass was my initial thought.
Spacing between CBS is a bit tight so needs thinking about ref size of label and text.
