Transformer is a Boston Acoustics 120VAC input to 12VAC output.
I used the graphic shown above. The top blade is 1095. The marks, clockwise from top are: etched and marked, just etched, just marked. The bottom blade is CPM154. The left mark is just marked. The right mark is just etched. The process is a bit quicker than with the 12VDC power supply I used to etch the marks shown earlier. No detectible wear on the stencil. I used a multi-function electrolyte purchased from USA Knifemaker's Supply. I'll post which one later (at work now). __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions." |

If I understand it right you can mark AND etch with that setup? But I also understand that it isn't the diode that takes care of that? How come you can etch AND mark?
