Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: etching the OD of a cylinder to create a graduated dial

Mitch,

There are many ways to engrave and/or stamp dials. I'm looking for a way to do it with etching. My goal is not the dial but rather a new method.

Maybe the stepper could rotate the cylinder and a tool could carve the graduations. Etch, carve, as long as you end up with the graduations
