They run from $5.60 down to $3.50 depending on quantity.</p> <p>btw, the brass plated steel works real well for lasering and costs less too, it is .015 thick instead of the normal .020</p> <p> </p> <hr /><a name="a242_7"></a><p><b>From: ARAMember</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=242.7">#7</a>]<br /> 28 Aug 2004<br /><b>To: John (ICTJOHN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=242.6">#6</a>] 28 Aug 2004</p> <p>GREAT IDEA!</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p><br /> Justin</p> <p>BTW, the answer.....be it expensive.....is a vacumme table. It works like a charm.</p> <p>The Brass steel idea is the best I've heard so far.</p> <p> </p><hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=242.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=242.1">1-5</a>  6-7</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2026 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
