What's the favorite stencils for electrochemical etching? Are you having them made or making them in-house? If in-house, what's your method? Something better than a typewriter?
 
The ones from lectro etch work well altho a little pricey. Just experimented today with some vinel cut ones from a cricket home hobby machine that actually worked well. I dont really care for the electo chem etching, would be real nice to get a laser
 
I stopped jacking around with the electrochem etching about 6 months ago... finally put that CNC mill to more use. Though it's an expensive engraving machine. I'm looking for a laser soon, for the capability needed to burn barrels they have really come down in price.
