Photo etching brass
 

Hi
Anyone know where you can get photo etching of a couple of brass plates.
The plates are approx 2 3/4 inches by 2 1/4 with 8 lines of wording etched in each
Thanks

The significant dimension is the thickness. The acid etches sideways (underneath the etch-resist), as well as down. If you're looking at the type of sheet thicknesses used in model making (10-20 thou, give or take), you could try PPD in scotland. They have done etching for me & will make up the tooling if you don't have suitable computer software.

Try them on enquiries@ppdltd.com or 01546 602963.

Hope that helps. There are others, but some are cowboys & others will only etch, not produce tooling or artwork.

Diane Carney aka Platemaker here on TT does just what you want .

I was told that Diane no longer does photo etching.

Brunel engraving. Top notch but not cheap

You could try http://www.vintagebrassplates.co.uk/

I haven't used them yet but their website looks good.
