One we can digitize an original in using a ruby tipped probe then machining it out of a ren board type of material. Using this method we can comp out the shrinkage factor.
So, if I gave you a .dxf file of a builders plate, you could machine the pattern?
Any idea on what the cost of a 6"x 12' plate would be from file to finish? The original is cast steel but brass would work,
I have an early Alco Diesel loco. plate I've been thinking about for years and really need to get it back to the Museum. The plan was to make a copy for the loco and store the original, so it wouldn't disappear.
