The custom steel song lyrics sheet was cutout with the following:

Someone Like You
By
Van Morrison

Ive been searching a long time
For someone exactly like you
Ive been traveling all around the world
Waiting for you to come through
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. Someone exactly
Like you
Ive been all around the world
Marching to the beat of a different
Drum
But just lately I have
Realized
Baby the best is yet to come
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. Someone exactly
Like you
Jennifer

This custom steel song lyrics sheet was made using 304 stainless steel, that’s why you don’t see any rust on it and the durability of this metal is incredible and the precision of CNC waterjet cutting makes sure all the words come out sharp.

CNC waterjet cutting is a wet process, both the cutting using a mixture of water and abrasive garnet and me next to the machine when ever a piercing was being performed as you can see in the above image.

CNCROi.com can make inspirational plaques using a variety of steels, it does cost less to etch stainless steel rather than cut when it comes to specific production envelopes and goals.

Something to keep in mind is that when cutting words out of any material (CNCROi.com can cut anything from paper to iron), a stencil font should be used so that the inner parts of “o”, “p”, “b” and so forth are kept intact, otherwise, the esthetics aren’t very nice as there are lots of holes where there really shouldn’t be any.

If there is nothing supporting inner holes in letters and vowels or even numbers, such as a bridge material to keep them in place, they fall out and there is no real way to hold them there, more often than not, they get lost in the process of making them.

This custom steel song lyrics sheet was loaded with “e”, “o”, “a” and so forth, so choosing a front that clearly legible AND can be cut with incredible precision is a task of optimizing onto itself by CNCROi.com.

There are a lot of material options when it comes to making custom plaques and industrial tags.

All the dust and debris you see forming around the stainless steel plate of this custom steel song lyrics sheet is really just wet sand and water, the reason it’s relatively clean around the lyrics is due to the fact that the water pressure during the piercing is pushing the sand that does accumulate all over the plate, away.

CNCROi.com has cut A LOT of metal and we continue to make capital investments in both software and hardware to ensure that what we make is the best quality possible, regardless of what cutting or engraving process we end-up using.

There is an incredible amount of water pressure shooting down with the sand (garnet) onto and eventually through the stainless steel plate, as a result, there is some air that gets trapped during the process which is why you see some bubbles forming on the metal sheet.

If you wanted something cut out of anodized aluminium to add a little color and to reduce the weight of the overall piece, CNCROi.com can do that too.

As for the scale that’s possible specifically with waterjet cutting, this font size was about as small as we’d use for this specific font, any smaller, and the small inner parts I mentioned previously would start to fly off, of course, this could have been scaled-up indefinitely as well.

For this custom steel song lyrics sheet, as the metal was on the thinner part of the spectrum, you can see the weights added around the cutting surface area to prevent movement.

The movement is rarely caused by the waterjet cutting process specifically, but more the water returning to the surface after being shot downwards, or by small parts that get hung-up on the tip of the nozzle.

CNCROi.com can also etch into stainless steel whether it’s for industrial or artistic purposes.

What happens if there is sheet movement during the custom steel song lyrics sheet cutting? Well, everything thereafter would go out of alignment, so basically CNCROi.com would have to redo the whole job.

Stainless steel is a wonderful material that CNCROi.com uses for a wide variety of projects because it has a fantastic weight to it by default, maintenance is just about nothing and best of all, it is highly corrosive resistant unlike rolled steel or even aluminium.

CNCROi.com can also fiber etch stainless steel, so cutting is only a small part of our capabilities.

The overall result from the CNC waterjet cutting is a nice sanded look to all the cutouts, CNCROi.com can also add holes for screws or bolts if you wish to affix this custom steel song lyrics sheet to the wall.

Cutting out the stainless steel is a relatively slow process for this custom steel song lyrics sheet because of all the number of piercings required, each letter or vowel had 2-3 cuts.

All that sand around the custom steel song lyrics sheet and on it easily comes off with just regular water, it is not rust or permanent debris.

Below is what the custom steel song lyrics sheet looks like after all the cutting and cleaning is done, looking fantastic!!!
