[sdiy] Anyone in the UK (for now) interested in engraved panels?

Ive been doing a fair bit of testing and reconfiguration of my cnc machine, 
and now consider its output on single stroke fonts to be on par with what 
ive seen elsewhere.

I want to offer this as a service, but really don't a whole lot of 
complexity right at the moment, hence limiting to just uk people.

I can reliably cut down to 3mm high fonts (actually smaller, if needed). 
Can do multistroke, but would rather limit to single stroke at the moment. 
Don't really want to offer milling just yet (but will do at some point - 
have been testing milling / routing today, and that's certainly getting 
there)

I don't yet have loads of metal, so would rather work on supplied panels 
(must be anodised, not powdercoat, or brushed) - that said i can probably 
supply the metal for oakley style 5u panels direct.


Like i said, at this stage, i really don't want to be doing a great deal, 
but there are a few more engraving accessories that id like to purchase, and 
the idea of the machine paying for its further development is certainly 
appealing!


In light of this, i thought id ask if anyone's keen on being an early 
adopter?  (probably some [low to start with] percentage of shaeffers price, 
for ease of calculation)


...anyway, if anyone is keen, drop me a mail with an idea of what you're 
after.

Thanks, Julian
