ive used these guys loads of times, great service, but stainless is pretty though to engrave as it kills their cutter blades

ive had the engraved part flooded with ink before, which makes the logo stand out more

If you'e still looking for an engraver, give me a shout.

I have family in Rugby & could bring them up next time we visit, or I could post them back up depending on your timescale.

I've done some kick plates for a Savage Cortina which looked quite impressive & also adapted the 1600E sign to 3100E. I'll see if I can find the original artwork.

I deffinately have the Ford logo.

Yes, stainless does knacker the cutters, unless you're needing it quite deep then it wouldn't pose a problem.

No worries. I don't know what's going wrong with PMing people on here, several of mine have not been received.

Give me a call on 01752 661868 during office hours- ask for Ben.

spark erroding might be better for ss.

plenty of toolrooms begging for work at the moment so shouldn't cost too much.
