Manufacturer Of Index Scale ?

[The Coal Man]

Hi,

Would anyone please be able to tell me where I can get a small quantity of thin metallic strips with a degree scale on them used as index markers? I have attached a picture of the type of scale I need. I think it is aluminium but could possibly be some other metal with a plated finish.

The scale is in degrees from 0 to 10 with half degree increments and is for outdoor use.

Thx

@julianf I think makes such things

You can make your own with a laser printer and some of this stuff:

Good stuff, mine has withstood 6yrs on a lathe

I bought six packs of that stuff for 50p a pack when "staples" went broke.

not sure how well laser toner will stand up to exterior use tho...

depending on how accurate it has to be, I'd be tempted to make a template, and Electro-etch it.

They are fine for exterior use, according the the bumpf.

Thank you for the replies.

The scale is approximate and used as a guideline rather than an absolute measurement. The scale is 5.0 cm to 10.0 degrees plus a bit of land at either end to allow for the rivets that hold it in place. I have a laser printer so will look at the cost of a pack of the etching material as it might be a simple solution.
