marking steel, for dial?
Hi,
I'm nearly done a simple angle jig. The final step is to mark off the angles. One part is SST, the other plain carbon. I may be able to get access to a laser cutter to etch in the marks, but easier still might be to take a tiny endmill (I have one) or even just a center-drill and, with an indexing head on a mill, preceed to etch in all 360 tick marks. However, while this will leave permanent tick marks, they'll vanish from sight if light isn't bouncing off the right way. Should I just paint in some enamel, maybe even a sharpie marker? What do you recommend? -Bernard Arnest |
