Does not matter.

Wht not just get a free instant quote. Upload your file to one of the onlone vendors and you will get an instant price after a few mouse clicks. Price is going to be so dependant on material, thickness, overall size, etc.

Also what type of etching? do you want it part way through like engraving or to actually “cut” right through.

Any help as a price guide?

I want to make some brass plates for the Farm Boy.

I brought some of the stuff which I believe to be all that I need except the Brass which I already have. Now the fun begins

Prices for the small amount I have brought

Ferric Chloride 500ml £8.97

Photo resist film £10.29

A4 transparent film 10 sheets (for printing on) £5.49

Acetone 100ml £4.25

Sodium Carbonate 500g £5.49

Ultraviolet light source £15.19

Dark room light I already had.

Labour whatever I want to charge myself, but the pleasure of doing it myself, just hope it works.

I watched Clickspring.

I have used this company many times through work, about £40 for an approximately A3 sized sheet of 0.5mm stainless steel, if the design is sent as a dxf file.

That looks very decent pricing, Andrew

Thanks … Duly noted for future reference.

There was an article by Luker in ME on electrically etching nameplates which avoided the use of lots of chemicals, no doubt someone with Google power will find the reference
