I saw the method on Youtube and was surprised how effective it was when I tried it.

One last question, is the 'work piece' positive or negative from the power supply?

Positive/anode for removal/etching and negative/cathode for plating/deposition, as a general rupe for all electro chemistry.

Electro etching?

Part of something bigger I'm working on.

Only another 51 to go?

How did you do the letters etc? They are very crisp, great work.

Here's my thread about etching.

Experiments in Etching.

Todays project. A piece of zintec. Rough copper plated by dipping in HCL + Copper sulphate. Vinyl stencil applied. (Silhouette cameo cutter + cheapest t'bay vinyl) Weeded. Etched by reversing the electrodes in my electrolysis rust remover tank. (10 mins with a 13.8v /2A CB power...

Also this one:

Experiments in etching 2.

The other thread about etching got me interested and I had a go. Downloaded Inkscape and spent ages learning how to drive it. As I'd altered the gearing on my lathe to halve the QCGB feed rate, thought I'd start simple and make a small reminder tag in an attempt to avoid the inevitable future...

Bit more on some of the cones rolled up recently, space shuttle rescue pod.

Thanks for the links, they make interesting reading! I will have to try it now.

Had three pieces of 3”x2” En8 bar to machine down, 700mm long. . Hacked the guts out of it in the small Cnc mill to turn it into a channel, then put it on the old mill for a lick to get it flat again. Evidently haven’t lost my touch on a manual mill
