I have a number of small (approx 1" diameter but not exactly round) stainless steel parts I’d like to Cerakote (or similar) and then etch to make wording from remaining paint. The parts are small enough that a small misalignment would ruin them.
I’ve been brainstorming ways to get the alignment perfect and this is the best I’ve come up with. I’d like folks’ opinions on it.
I can make a 2-color drawing with one color being the outline of the parts, the other the text. I’ll place a piece of 1/8 plywood or MDF and then cut the part outlines. Without moving the board, I remove the cut shapes and then place my parts in the resulting holes. Then run the etch job.
Does that seem like a reasonable way to do this?
Thanks!
