I think it will be up to those who want the castings to decide if they want to have them done via water jet or not. I am only offering to see if I can get some cast in aluminum, and to do so if I can. I ran into this water jetting before with my Streamline lettering. I did not like the finished product, which was as you say, square cornered, and ended up having them redone with cast aluminum, which did turn out quite well. I will only be supplying the cast logos. Any finishing can be done by the user either by way of powder coating, or by a spray paint such as I used. Thank you for the information you have supplied though. It will be useful to those who will be getting the logos to help them decide how to proceed. -Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "moppo1" <moppo1@flash.net> To: <sslist@tompatterson.com> Sent: Monday, June 02, 2008 12:16 PM Subject: [SilverStreak] Mark on the SS sabre logo casting > Hi there Tom > About the water jetting I used to run a water jet. > The letters will be cheaper to make and Stronger than the castings and > you can cut them out of stainless sheet or aluminum. they will also be a > lot stronger than a casting. > The only drawback is the letters will be square cornered, > if the originals have a radius on the edges of the letters you won/t get > it > which is ok with me but may not look original. > As for the powder coating I work in a machine shop and we do > powdercoating all the time > it will fill in any small pits or imperfections and last forever on the > castings or sheet letters. > its tough as nails. > any quetions email me. > Mark > > Steve Schultheis <sdstone@stoneforyou.com> wrote: > Well here is my part even though the Unknown Fixture" is yet to be Id'. > You might want to check on water jetting the logo?
