good deal

[DannyDiablo]

Just won a personalizer and a personalizer plus on ebay.....both for 150.00. Not 150 each but 150 total..now if they both work I'll be real excited.. Just wanted to know if the plus is a lot better than the regular personalizer and what the real differences/pros and cons between the 2 are..and where a good place to get my stencils made would be...Thanks Dan

I have the personalizer and it works well.For stencils use Ernie.

Thanks Stan...Do you use etch mark or both....I have seen the markings look like they are just on the surface and I have seen some that actually have depth...I would like to go more for the depth...

I do 10 cycles of 10 seconds on etch and then the same on mark,get a good deep etch.

Dan, congrats awesome find I was told the personalizer 2 is faster. But the 1 works just fine.
I have used stencils from 3 makers, Ernie is the best.
Stan,
I have the same set-up. I'm gonna try your cycle time. I usually etch for 1 min 30 sec and mark for 1 min with no breaks. I get about .008 deep I would like it to be deeper.
