Pop N Wood Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Suppose most of you are already aware of this, but thought i would turn the rest of you onto these silver metalic sharpie pens. These are probably one of the best metal working tools made. Throw away the soap stone and buy a pack or two of these at Homers. The are visible as hell and don't burn off as the cutting wheel works through the steel. I am making some motor mounts, and even my blind old eyes are able to work the cutting wheel along the lines with no trouble. On the plus side the marks disolve in oil, so they clean up nicely.

660Z Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I`ve been using model paint pens. Started using the silver but found the white worked better while using the welder and plasma cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusPuppis Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 They write on the metal just fine? I've had trouble with regular sharpies not writing worth a damn. Gonna grab a pack of these. I need to redo one of the motor mounts on the Festy.. this could be helpful. Danke sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
