Single Line Fonts For Plasma Cutting

[acourtjester]

For those looking for single line fonts, one source I found is CamBam stick fonts. Good for some types of CNC work< routing, plasma, Pen writing and laser.

Tom - thanks for the tip! I think you may have mentioned these before since I already have them installed into Inkscape. But I'm sure these will come in very handy for other Inkscape users.

Nice find, thanks Tom. These will be great for marking all kinds of things quickly with my scriber!

Thanks for this Tom. I downloaded them and actually used the second one in a spanner wrench I am making (my initials). Not sure if this matters but when you blow it up very large the lines are actually double lines. Wondering if this will make a difference in Plasma cutting as well as scribing. I have my stroke width set to like .003 and it still does not matter. Double lines are still there. Hope you understand what I am referring to. Not at my laptop right now so I cannot do a screen shot.

I understand so it is actually a loop and not a line, I had used one for routing and it worked fine with EstlCam for a plaque. I planned it using their engrave tool and you just set the depth using a "V" bit so it still appears as a line.

Thanks Tom. This is great. I hope to cut out my spanner wrenches out soon. Just have to get some other sign work done first.

Ok. So I used this font to cut out spanner wrenches. The machine cuts out the letters and runs the cut twice. Especially a T and A. I even created bridges in the A. It is very strange. What happens is the voltage spikes very high when coming back over a cut and the DTHC sees this and lowers the torch and drags on the material. I messed one of the parts up. So then I went back into Sheetcam and turned of the DTHC for the "letter layer" operation. Then it cut out great.

I even bridged the A. Appearantly not enough.
