What is sinking?

sinking is a process used to machine or create a specific size or shape cavity or opening in steel blocks. Holes in steel blocks can then be used to form plastic into different shapes. Such openings can also be used in performing, either hot or cold, or when mining or alienating.

Most often sink to the location of names, numbers and other sources of information on metal. It can also be used to place such elements on a piece of wood, leather or many other materials. The sinking process is quite simple and something anyone can do with a few simple tools. There are also larger machines that can help with this process, but these machines are supplied with a price mark.

The sinking process begins with obtaining a piece of sheet and cutting the shape. For example, the shape of the shield or name can be a shape. When performing the sinking process, it is important to use a piece of sheet metal for a project that is at least 1/64 of a thumb (0.4 mm) thick. Used to do thisThe chisel and the hammer or otherwise special sheet cutting equipment. Once the piece is cut, it is necessary to give rough edges down.

After the shape is completely cut out, the sinking process begins to add letters and numbers. An outline must be created containing information intended to put a letter to a piece letter. This outline can be created with a soft lead pencil and a steel inscription group of 1/8 inch (3.17 mm).

Once all inscriptions are applied, it is necessary to sit steel inscriptions on the upper part of each of the letters outlined and then a letter to the metal with a hammer. This process creates an indentation in metal. This process continues to complete all fonts, numbers and other suggestions.

In cash, the process was to create a piece where the metal indentation is personalized. It is possible to increase the inscription by filling the indentation with a certain type of colored polymer. This allows indentation to excel against metal.
