Cut from .022 inch brass plate.  The plates are 1 inch high and 4 inches long.

Cut with a #3 jewlers blade.

DW thats professionaly done. Very nice.

What are your plans for them and where would they go and be attached?

[DWSUDEKUM]

Larry the nameplates go on 10 Piggy Banks that are almost completed.  They will reside beside the coin slot on top.  They will be held on by 2 screws just like the windows for the bank.  I got the order for the banks w/ nameplates from a grandmother for all of her grandchildren.  I will post the order when it is completed.

Kevin I broke a dozen blades making those.  No jig was used other than a zero clearance insert to support the letters as they were cut.  I did not waste any either.  I set my saw ( DW788 ) about 4 on the tension and about 4 on the speed and took my time.  The reason most of the blades broke is I got impatient a time or three.  I had my magnifying headset on of course.  Not really all that hard, just a bit of practice.

You've done a superb job on those DW, you should be proud of them,  very professional. You may have lost a dozen blades but not your patience. An admirable job.

Gator I got the brass sheet from Hobby Lobby here in Ohio.  I do not know if they have one in your area however the major craft stores such as Michaels or one of those should have it, otherwise you can get it online.
