GPDC,
You never said if you wanted to have raised letters or not. I wanted to make a few comments about raised face text
which may be worth while considering. If your fussy! The text in the attached file was created using just lines and arcs such that a 1/32" end mill could cut out the background around the letters and then clean out the remainder of background.
1. An s,o,c can look big if they were the exact same height as the other lettering.
2. Depending on were the other letters are in relation to each other t,i, they can look short if not higher.
3. A d,0,c can look pregnant
4. Watch for "color" (the area being cut out ) from letter to letter, spacing, and positioning in the outline.
5. Do a print, with say the letters white and black for the cut out area and see if you like what you see.
( Raised letters look different after maching them as compared to a drawing )
Just some things to think about, and should you see this plate on a custom cycle you'll know who made it!
