tombstone experiment

**Toymaker** · 08-28-2010,03:12 PM

We tried an experiment at work to see if styrofoam can be carved with our lamacoid tag making machine. Well White foam cuts like butter and the text turned out great even with the white foam.

We're going to try out the pink foam on Monday. Epitaphs should take only about a minute each to get carved out!!
So I'll probably have a slew of new headstones for the graveyard this year!
I'll need some good pirate themed epitaphs.
Got any good ones or know where I can find some?

The one we have at work cost $15K. We use it to make plastic tags for machines.
It can fit anything up to 24" wide and unlimited length. It kind of works like a printer. Only instead of putting ink on the paper it moves a spindle with a cutter (Dremel tool like). So any font that's on a computer can be used.
