Etching equipment


As someone who always likes to have a go at home building his equipment I would like to have a go at building an electro-chemical etching unit, Does anyone have any details or plans, circuits etc. I have some experiance with electronics so following a cicuit is not a problem.

What are the chemicals used to etch on stainless steel ?

Andy..

Andy,

I still have the plans for the one I built. If I had a scanner, I would post them here. It is really simple, and if you email me your address I will mail you copies (yes, I know you are in the UK) unless someone wants to scan and post them for me.

Scanning


Hi.

I've got a scanner, and I'd be more than happy to scan the plans for you. Do you have a file preference (.jpg?.tiff?)?

Please drop me an email:

boybacon@jefnet.com

www.homestead.com/baconboy

P.S. The web site is a little outdated, but it's still kind of fun.

Ok guys, if you can get it together I can read files in any format but .jpg is just fine.

Re: Scanning


George, Your plan looks good, I've got the charger and banana plugs. Having a hard time finding carbon, would graphite be okay? Probably not-too soft. It's nice to know I'm a block of carbon away from etching. Thank you!
I have a 6V-12V switch, 6V @12A or 12V @6A (same power).
I'll try them both.
Bill

Etching Plans


Hi Guys.

The plans have been received. I've just got to find the time to scan them. I'll let you know when it happens. I've got a newborn in the house (Dec. 13th, 2000), and he's been more work/fun/time than I ever imagined. Computer time has suffered because of it. I'll try and get it done this weekend, and I'll let you know where you can find the scans.
