amazon has stuff if you're in a pinch, but i wouldn't trust it for exterior

you're welcome to try, some bits may be better than others, but there's a reason you see more processes involving adding braille to surfaces via resin or raster rather than machining it down.

its been done before if you have experience with a cnc & available router bits and toolpathing, then you should be fine to bog down your machine with this. ....but then painting becomes the hard part, as your toolpathing will reveal itself on the surfaces.

they bought midwest sign supply, midwest sign & screen still around these parts

that's odd, it says 48" is in stock by the yard through Fellers. most distributors have moved-away from by the yard pricing, but Midwest Sign & Screen still supplies us with by the yard vinyls. ...and we use 3M's frosted/dusted crystal. idk if they have Avery.

not opposed to the occasional stout. love me some Guiness, but Bourbon County Stout by Goose Island tops them all, especially if you allow it to age a couple of years. just had a bottle last month from the 2017 batch, super good! looked it up online and people are selling them for $250, but...

my regular beer order wherever I go, is a "surprise me IPA" toppling goliath & surley breweries being my favorites but I'll take any IPA over any other beer.

that's actually my new favorite shot since cinco de mayo this year. realized I dislike Blanco for its grain alcohol finish, but repasado has that smooth bourbon kick. someone introduced me to a "puerto rican hooker" and now I drink them 3x/week. its a shot of tequila with a pickle juice chaser...

i'm just glad you guys are talking about tariffs again, and not just parrot'd TDS ramblings. should just setup ChatGPT to automate this thread discussion to 100pages while we sit back and drink all this Kentucky Bourbon.

orrrr, people will buy American-made tariff-free products and import less Crown Royal & LeBatt Blue. #winning

settle down there, chatGPT. just means more bourbon for ME and less for your King! I'd call that WINNING!

there's reddit threads and youtube vids on how to clone various security USB keys. i'm not a lawyer, but I'd be looking in that direction for "educational purposes" and in no way condoning software piracy.

Bourbon taken off the shelves in Canada, has already been paid-for. ownership most likely stashing "pre-Tariff" booze as a collector's item

i've had a drag tool for my CNC for nearly two decades and never used it. Came across it lumped in a box of extra collets & misc crappy bits a couple of months ago & figured i'd give it a shot for some stud targets on super tiny lettering and now i'm HOOKED.

if you score .040, you risk it tearing open on a bend. big fan of using a Vbit on aluminum composite, however, so that i'm only bending the untouched .040 layer on one side and it leaves room for the material to crush into itself on the backside.
