Worked out fine, however there are as well nice labeling units around (check in google for wire label printer.

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 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:04:35 AM PST US From: Werner Schneider Subject: Re: RV10-List: Cutting UHMV blocks 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.

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. http://www.hawklabeling.com/store/department.php?cPath=3_495 Rick > On Dec 18, 2013, at 1:40 AM, bob88 wrote: > > > Anyone out there have a good system or product for labeling wires.

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.

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.

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.
