Where can I find a list of people to do some laser etching for me?

[Doug W Swanson]

Hey all,

I'm not exactly sure where to pose this question but here goes:

I am going to make a flag case and was thinking about having some etching done on the sides. I want to have a fish on one side and a deer on the other. Both images would be about 4" x 4".

Where can I find a list of people that do this so I can get a few quotes?

Thanks!

Check the FOTC list. The red button at the top of the page.

Remember, doing the sides may be quite difficult. Most laser tables can fit maybe 6-8". Turned on side, a flag case is probably taller than that.

If you're building it yourself, you'll probably have to have the sides engraved first and then assembled. If you follow this process you'll have to plan ahead for the finishing portion as to get the proper contrast.

Some tables are much deeper. I believe my machine has 16' of depth,however I have never used it all.

My laser goes 18 inches deep and I have used most all of it for odd shaped jobs. Must be a chinese laser thing :) sorry couldnt resist...

Holy schmoly, Jim... 16 feet? You have your laser sitting above an empty Olympic pool or something? :p

my Chinese laser goes 18" deepIf the case is for a burial flag, that might work: interior dimensions of that case will be about 15.5"x15.5"x22", so the exterior is at least 17" on the short sides.

Hey all,
Thanks for the info. I never really looked at the FOTC page before. Hopefully I can find someone close to me that can do this....

Thanks again!
