Grinding off hot stamps (1 Viewer)

[Klobberer]

Has anyone tried a 7/8" grinding disk on a drill press? It only needs to take off the raised part of the stamp for a labeling project, correct?

Make sure you don’t expose yourself to lead dust if you do this..

Is there lead in modern chips?

 

[superchromix]

No, only in older chips...

I asked @Gear this very same question. He said his own experiments with this technique were far less than satisfying.

There's been some mixed luck with using a milling machine, but not a drill press. Someone here (or on the other site) actually made a jig for this purpose.

I made a video of my jig in this thread with lots of info on my milling process:
