Bob,
on my last project I produced wire labels out of an Excel sheet (very
tiny font) cut it and did put it on the wire with some clear heatshrink.
Worked out fine, however there are as well nice labeling units around
(check in google for wire label printer.
Cheers Werner

| Subject: | Cutting UHMV blocks |
Guys
I have a thing cutting UHMV blocks, like the ones used in the flaps system.
My cuts are never straight, they leave many burrs and the look of the final
piece is not good.
I don't have a band saw, I'm using a hack saw and sometimes a cutting disc
in a Dremell tool.
Can someone point me out the best method and tool to cut UHMV blocks,
please.
Thanks
Carlos

Carlos,
use a very fine tooth metal cutting blade and a slow speed.
Burrs can be removed with a file. I had good success as well with
a standard hand metall saw and the block clamped in a vise.
Cheers Werner

I've used this system from Hawk Labeling on three airplanes. With the cost of
the machine and the heat shrink tubing it's certainly not the least expensive
option. But it produces an exceptionally nice wire labels that looks very professional
and are easy to produce and read.

I bought white heat-shrink and wrote the info on before shrinking. Use
the ultra fine sharpie. In places where the wire was smaller than the
heated shrink I put on a couple layers of blue painters tape. I have a
couple sizes of drift pins/nail sets that I used to hold the heat shrink
while marking.

I use white, blue and yellow heat shrink tubing, write the label on the
tubing with a sharpie and then shrink. The writing shrinks down with the
tubing and is very legible. It actually looks cool, (like how did you
write so small?!?).
The color of the tubing can be coded as well. Yellow is power from CB to
switch, Blue is power from switch to devise, as an example.
Using a sharpie makes a very permanent label, and if you use the correct
size tubing, the label is difficult to slide off the wire, but can be
slid down to the terminal after crimping. Initially shrink the label
back about six inches so it won=99t slide off until you final trim
the wire, then move it down to the terminal.
Been doing it this way for many years and the labels still look like the
day they were done.

The sharpie method is quick and easy, as others are describing. Works
great. One thing about every label printer I've used is that they waste a
lot of tubing. I buy white tubing on a reel and just snip each =8Bpi
ece as
needed.

Your labels look great but you didn't mention what you use to do them...
