It's a run what you brung kinda project. Took 6.5 hours to mill the top
plate. Only took about 2 to make the bottom plate. It takes 28 minutes per
run to cut ten sheets plus a sacrificial one. I jacked up the speed and cut
them at about 17 minutes, but the quality went to heck.

Obvious a vinyl plotter would have been better and just feed it some velum,
but this works and provides a really professional result.

... and I have this machine. LOL.




Cool!

But..why didnt you simply make a die stamp and press em out?

Even an arbor press would have done the job and you would have knocked
out one lable with each fast stroke?

The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
