    homemade plate marker

    for the last month or so i've been gathering parts for my plate marker. i bought the universal interface relay box from torchmate and everything else i got second hand off ebay. all in all i have less than 600 into this. i just did my first test last night. i think i can speed up the feed alot on the plate marker. more testing to come...

    It's a pneumatic scribe. The blows per minute is adjustable too to get different looking lines.

    with this you can permanently etch part numbers, drawings, bend lines, center punches for holes to be drilled etc.

    here's a pic and vid of some more testing/tuning from last night. i needed a stiffer return spring so i zip tied half the coils together lol. works better now but i need to find another spring. also i'll be changing the movement delay tonight.
