i've an early tuf neck stem that the stap is very weared.
was wondering whether a trophy engravers or the likes would be able to re do it.
anybody tried this yet ?.
-
see pete .. he buys all the helix stems and gets the tiger stamp engraved on em ..then knocks em out again :4_17_5:
-
i knew he was a dodgy fooker that pete :P
-
i was thinking the same thing, going to take a dk stem next week to be done, they should be able to do it no problem
-
be cool to see how it comes out.
like you say it should'nt be hard to copy the writing round.
only prob i've got is the T is gone totally on my stem.
i might have to try and get a good pic and print it off to see if they can copy it from that.
-
What did you buy one of those polished ones? ;D
-
this seems to be a bit of a problem,ive tried several places and all have said no, it seems its down to the software they use not being able to copy logos ???
going to try tinternet and see if someone somewhere has the correct software
-
just bring it in mine mate ... With a photo of the logo we can re-draw it for you ......... then you can take it to anyone... unless you want me to try with my 8' x 4' router :LolLolLolLol:

Well i had a play with my router today for Gaz and here is the results..... This is a big machine and can route 8' x 4' sheets easily ... This was done without even putting the engaving head on ... It could be better, but a great start.. Just 0.3 of a mm to deep im thinking ....
This is how it started

Ready to go

And the end result, it is very slightly to deep but the next one will be perfect....... Im going tho get the tuf neck tiger drawn up and see how it goes..

Im impressed Carl :4_17_5:
Wait until jongoose see's this he will have you engraving 'maurice' on everything from seatpost's to knifes and forks :D

That ELF logo looks luvverly!!! :smitten:
I am feeling a lot of man love for ya Carl!! :shocked:
I've been looking for this ELF stem for fecking ages and this should look as good as the real thing. I'll check with BMX Plus magazines for an advert. I want to see if the engraving is as deep as a DK or GT Stem or more of a shallow etch!!
How do we get this done then?
Does my stem clamp have to be de-chromed, engraved and then re-chromed?
If we have to get stuff rechromed then maybe doing everyones in a big batch is the way to go!! ???

Hey Dave, have a chat with SteveP, I'm sure he'll help you out with you getting the brushed look sorted out ;)
