Has anyone tried using a vector cutting path on a cermark coated sheet of stainless steel?
Bit of background. I've got an industrial customer who is wanting a good number of stainless steel sheets marked with text and outlines of their parts.
Will be quarter inch thick plate, so there is no issue with me warping the sheet, more of it warping me.
They can cut into roughly 2x4 ft sections which would be about 75 pounds each rather than 330 pounds that a full 4x8 sheet weighs.
My bed is 36x54, and I can move that size sheet into it, (nothing more I think) but some of their outlines are 14" diameter circles.
(squares I can break and engrave in pieces) but the circles will take a ton of time to engrave.
I'd love to use my fiber, but I can't cover any of the areas except for the text in one pass. So cermark is only option.
Any comments?
