4dead Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Anyone have a trick for getting the letter to line up when you stamp them. It is frustrating to make something, get it looking pretty good only to stamp crooked letters on it. Thanks Randy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Two vise grips and a short piece of angle iron make a dandy adjustable rest. Also handy for plasma or torch cutting straight lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Stamp backwards - last to the first letter that way you in can see spacing or stamp upside down front to end . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Anything as a guide to keep the line straight. Flat bar, angle iron etc. When you get the guide set up, use soapstone or masking tape to mark a line from the guide to the metal so you can see if the set up starts to move, even a little bit.
