    Default Data Plate

    I just talked to an engraver. He said stainless engraving is pretty rare and specialized. (he couldn't do it) Does anyone know of a place that can match the engraving on my data plate to add my name? Will CC do it if I send it to Mitch?

    I had a machinist do mine. He is a buddy of mine so he didn't charge. It did take a while to do by the time we made a mount and programmed the computer.

    I took mine to a local trophy / engraving shop. Next day my name, town and year were nicely engraved for less than $20.

    The Trophy guy I went to said his machine wouldn't do a good job. Stainless is too hard. I found a place in town that does stainless. I guess that machine is like a tiny router and will engrave the stainless much deeper than a traditional engraving machine.

    Jake:

    Attached is how mine came out. Lettering not as bold as the CC ID info, but frankly I prefer it that way. If you want deep engraving to match the CC lettering I can see where that may be an issue.

    I am sure the engraving shop you found will do a nice job. Post a picture when done.
