Hello from Waterloo
« on: February 02, 2012, 07:16:15 PM »
Hi I am new the the forum at the recommendation of Ross from Clean Cut Blade. 

As a child I was very interested in trains so I became a mechanical engineer.

Recently at work we changed from manually cutting stencils with brass templates to using a Diagraph SC-5.  I am not sure who really makes the SC-5 but it is working quite well for our purposes.  We have it set up to cut 0.010 and 0.015" oilboard.

With the SC-5's basic software they have given almost 1400 fonts, but unfortunately only a handful are stencil fonts and all are designed for use at small sizes.  I am working with 1" 2", 4" and 9" letter heights. 
 
Ross suggested that someone here might be able to point me to a true type or VEF font like the Eurostile stencil font at this site:  http://www.microscale.com/Stencil%20Font%20Glossary.pdf

Thank you,

Ryan

Welcome,
Nu School Munitions is a free stencil font close to eurostile.

Eurostile Stencil Black Extended can be purchased at Ascender fonts for $19.95
