Re: More Easyscriber…
Those look great! Do you make the disc and base or do you buy those?

I make the discs by cutting them from 20 ga and prep with 3M scotch brite sanding pads. Then prime with black primer , after I do the engraving I shoot them with clear.

Re: More Easyscriber…
I would say you have the process well dialed in, thanks of posting. What software are you using to develop your work??

Re: More Easyscriber…
Sounds like a simple process and looks great. I see a lot of unique things being done with those scribes.

Re: More Easyscriber…
I assume you cut the disc out . Clean the disc up . Paint it . Clamp the disc down , engrave it .
I'd be interested on how you line the disc back up and clamp down to engrave . Pics of the process would help . Thanks

Re: More Easyscriber…
I would say using the center of the file not X0 Y0

Re: More Easyscriber…
I think if depends on the particular table/controller setup. On my Avid/Mach3 table, I would clamp the disc down, move the spindle/engraver so that it is centered on the disc, and then zero out my x and y. This assumes that when I drew it I had zero,zero at the center of the part. So just align the engraver tip to the original origin of the part, then zero out the x and y. Of course, it's always best to do a "dry run" just to make sure.
