Jim,

Although I've never worked with the material, I'd say the number of passes necessary to cut through would be a few as one.

Of course, that would depend on the feed rate you use. You'd definitely want to use a sacrificial sheet below.

I'm basing my answer on a discussion I had with my SoCal friend, Dennis Robertson, creator of the 3rd Place winning Address Sign.

Dennis said the material is very machineable.

Thank you Kim.

Very helpful information indeed.

As you can see, people's minds are racing with ideas for IKONMetal. :-)

Where can I find detailed info about IkonMetal? When I go to your site and click the link for IkonMetal it takes me to a forum rather than to any product information.

Hello Dave,

At the top of the IKONMetal forum you can find in the top bar a link that is called "Datasheet/Pricing". This link opens up a PDF with more information on the product. Also if you click to enter the "Ikonics Discussion" some questions and answers have been posed in there.

Engravin' Dave,

I emailed another at IKONICS here and this was his reply:

I understand what he is going through. The grit will deflect for a minute or two until you will see an etch. I would recommend using 150-grit silicon carbide abrasive to achieve depth quicker. I typically blast at 60-80 PSI with a pressure pot system. Most people have capabilities to blast up to 50-60 psi so I would say crank it up to them. The 180 silicone carbide grit will still work but it is lighter than 150 grit so the impact is lesser. Therefore, take a little longer to blast with depth. Thank you for using IKONMetal! Better luck to you!
