My Labeled Cash Set (1 Viewer)

Very impressive man. Well done!

I'm kind of a newb when it comes to re-label projects. Did you just make new labels and put it over the existing ones? Or did you have to remove the existing labels before applying new labels?

This is giving me ideas....

These are 2 mil unlaminated labels....applied them on top of existing inlay.

Cool. I'm happy to know they have a deep enough recess that can accommodate that. I tried that once with crappier chips and they couldn't stack well.

Very nice.
 
Those are the same type of labels I used. Gear makes awesome labels. No spinners with Paulsons and the 2 mil labels.
 
Just finished labeling my tournament set, just in time for a home game last nite. Here's a pic....hope to get more taken and uploaded soon.

Nice work on both sets. They really came out great.

Did you put the labels right over the old labels/hotstamps or did you remove as much of either as you could?

Edit: Never mind, I saw your answer a little bit above.
 
Those looks great! (y) :thumbsup:
 
Damn, how did I miss both these sets? Excellent job.
 
We're gonna make a relabeler out of you in the end ;)

Never been opposed! I just have never found the right pairing of design and chips. I could see myself finally getting together my dream team of mixed casino chips and deciding I needed one single design for all of them.
 
What bit is this/where did you find it?

It's a Bottom Cleaning Dado router bit, 1" diameter. Bought it on Amazon, shipped from a company called PrecisionBits. Yonico is the bit brand name. Only $13.95 shipped.....

Setup is a basic drill press from Sears, I think it was $139 (I used points from a Sears Master Card to make purchase just for this project). Made jig using small scrap pieces of plywood and screwing the "L" shaped piece(s) onto the plywood base/table, and then attached the jig to the drill press's metal table using bolts and wing nuts that came with press. Getting the chips centered on the jig and setting the proper milling depth was the most difficult part of it for me (although someone more experienced than I could probably have done it faster and easier perhaps).
The milling itself isn't difficult, just time consuming and tedious.
It was worth it for me simply because shipping costs of sending chips to Gear in Canada and then return shipping was quite expensive for 800 chips. When I added in the cost of milling, it just made more sense for me to do it myself. Nothing against Gear at all, it was just the international shipping pricing was beyond our control and was a deal breaker for me. Gear was great to work with and his labels are awesome. I used both his 2 mil unlaminated labels (cash set) over existing Paulson inlays and his 7 mil (I think) laminated labels on my tournament set.....highly recommended.....they turned out great!!

That's super helpful, thanks. I'm debating between trying to build a little table for the router I have or trying it with a drill press now. Will update eventually.
 
Very nice! Did you do these by sticking labels over the existing ones? Or did you remove the original inlay first?

Digging up an old thread, just picked up a 7/8" bottom cleaning bit, but realized the middle is slightly more recessed than the edges which will leave the inlay are a bit domed in the middle. Was this an issue for you?

You're the 2nd person this week that has asked me! Actually, I never really noticed until this was mentioned.
The edge of labels on a few chips have lifted slightly, perhaps cuz of the "doming". I used laminated textured labels which are a little stiffer than non-laminated and that might explain it. Maybe the thinner and less stiff non-laminated labels would be more flexible and adhere to edges a little better.
Perhaps @Gear could weigh in here with any experience in this matter.
