  • *Depending on the material and characters, 3-5.0mm may cause character blurring.
  • *Size is only a reference value. Dimensional accuracy is not guaranteed. Depending on the text content, there may be cases where the size differs from the specified size.

Angle of the etching

  • Rotate counterclockwise at 45 degree intervals.
  • These are reference values only and accuracy is not guaranteed by quality assurance.
