I did a perfect circle using handwheels and turning them by precisely
calculated amounts. It was, in fact, my first milling project.

Ivan,
You mentioned *your* *stick* welding would be kind of crude. How about someone else's *tig* welding. Many tig welders can get pretty narrow and adjusting the current might give you just enough depth, etc. Have someone practice on a similar piece of material to demonstrate some adjustments. You just may find what you want in one of them.
I've heard of welding beer cans together with a tig rig....probably one that gets down in the 1 - 5 amp range. Some of the Lincoln Precision Tig rigs come down to 2 amps.

HSP is bad typing. I meant HSS, high speed steel.
I would still like to know what YOU know about special fonts and engraving
tools.
Thanks,

I am still not sure about lead and solder through a mask.
One method which I intend to try out in the near future is to mask as you do
and *electroplate* the letters in copper. But that is a whole different set
of skills.
