Plate Marker

All the hard work is done! If you have a 4x4 or larger you can use an electric scribe ($15) or an air scribe ($250-400). There are a couple of outputs and if you get on the Sheetcam mailing list there is also a plug-in for the scribe thats FREE. If you have a smaller than 4x4 there is an output that can be used for a single selenoid for air.

I have my plate marker 95% built, I just need to mount it on the z-axis and buy the scribe to bolt on!! I will post pictures and full details when its finished. Other than the scribe, I have less then $75 invested in the whole setup!!

What setup is everyone using in SheetCAM and Mach3?? I plan to setup my scribe marks on a seperate layer in CAD and then setup a separate tool for the scribe in SheetCAM, is that the correct way to do it?

There is a scriber port for sheetcam. Check sheetcam.com

IIRC there should be a spot in the post edit where you can toggle the pause for the scribe to land on the top of the plate. As soon as we clear up a little time we will get on the scribe info.
