Hi all,
I was not sure where to put this... after looking at all the forums, chose this one.
MODS: If there is a better forum, please feel free to move the thread.
One of the reasons I am setting up a machine shop, is EAB (experimental amateur built) aircraft... in my case gyrocopters.
I have some friends at the airport that want me to make parts for them... and am thinking of a way to identify the parts I make... A co logo and serial numbers.
And the thought came up: How to put these on metal parts???
The first thought was a laser etching tool... and then was thinking of liquid acid and a template.
Looking for ideas.
Most of the time, the metal will be 6061-T6, sometimes hot or cold rolled, and sometimes 4130.
THX for any input, appreciate it!
John
Edit... looks like a typo in the thread title... MODS: Can you remove the df at the front of the title, THX.
