Another dial made

Personally I think that is soooo cool! Brilliant Job! I think someone should promote this to an Article! So simple and achievable results! Any requirements for that?

Really looks nice. Do you have pictures of you stamping the numbers?

Super idea in using a saw blade as an indexer and a great looking dial.

Here is the picture of the stamp setup very simple very repeatable the left side of the slot is for the zero the right for the number. And remember this just takes very light taps the numbers are only 1/16 or 1.5mm. Ray

I was thinking that if you made the slot for the stamps in a slight V shape to line up with the center of the dial, the stamp would line up with the surface a little better. Of course this would be only for a double digit stamp.

I was thinking the same thought when I made it but after trying it the numbers are so close together the slight lack of angle does not seem to bother it but you still could do that it would have to be very slight. Ray

I will remember using a 200 tooth saw blade if I ever need to make dials myself. Easier than rigging up an index head.
