In my experience, engraving aluminum cleans up well w/ a rag and iso alcohol. But, thats with a fiber laser. I dont know about co2.

In my experience, no need for film or a maskā€¦ aluminum etches clean, no need for cleanup afterwards.

This was off the shelf from the manufacturer (thetrackr.com), no special masking or cleanup. I donā€™t remember the engrave time but it was a few minutes.

I have a ton of little metal square from lowes that came from the metal backsplash tiles. Do you think that is something that we could etch on? I believe they are stainless but may be brushed aluminum

If anondized - or using a marking compound like Cermark.

They are hell on fences and kill trees.

Great for weed control
The milk taste great and is more nutritious than cow milk.

Yes, they are supper fun to watch.

They kill trees, They kill trees, They kill trees, They kill treesā€¦

goats are by far the best way to get rid of a hillside full of poison oak.

ya they are more active as babies but still love to climb and rub on fences when older. If you have a pile of big rocks then that is where you will find them. Or on the roof of an old dog house.

If they are able to meet all their stated goals I feel the same. Its nice to have a crappy laser to see how much better this could potentially be.

Do we have any good examples of curved anodized AL engraving? The curved solution is the most interesting to me.
