Has anyone milled only 1 side of a chip? (1 Viewer)

[XBobdog]

I have a cool set of Paulson THC solid hot stamps. Denomination on 1 side and "wp" on the other. Im considering shaving the "wp" off (milling) and labeling 1 side only to keep the hot stamp denomination..

As a woodworker, I conceive that this could cause warping. But chips are not wood and I intend to minimize the amount of chip actually removed to a shaving. Has anyone tried this? had massive failure or success?

Just looking for anyone else's experience.

Yes. And hot stamped the other side

Yes. And hot stamped the other side

Yes. And hot stamped the other side

Was it a fairly successful project?

Was it a fairly successful project?

Yeah. No real issues. And did a fresh hot stamp on the other side. So a old hot stamp is even safer. Just hot stamp before you will the one side.

A label on one side and a hot stamp on the other, I'll have to think about that...

Only a degen could have come up with this concept.

I made @timinater some promo chips. So Timinater = degen?

I’ve had this idea for years.

Degen? Confirmed.

I thought I was being original when I came up with this idea. But @Josh Kifer told me @timinater beat me to it. Making mine into seating chips. Hot stamp on one side, seating chip labels on the other. I’ll have some leftovers, so I need to decide what to do with those labels.

Depends on what is drawn on the other side and what condition the chips are in. But in this case, I would use a lathe, which would allow me to remove a thickness the size of a human hair. I tried and it turned out so well that I even decided that I would definitely buy a set of hot stamps and re-stamp them!

Confirmed degen. I haven't completed the project - BUT I'll dig them out and post the pics.

I thought they worked pretty good!

 

[Colquhoun]

So if we get pics...it will be of hotstamps and inlaid chips. How do we REALLY know they're different on each side?

I bought these from 200motels where he shaved off the denomination and added the label.
