The ADA braille tool is pretty expensive. You can buy a 2/32 nail set at your local hardware store for less then 3 bucks that will easily pick up braille spheres and then drive them into the laser engraved holes. Tap the end of the nail set onto a wet sponge first, this provides the necessary adhesion to hold the braille sphere on the tip of the nail set while you transfer the sphere.
At $600 whoever priced this thing must have hit that crack pipe really hard before coming up with that price, and on top of that you need a license to purchase it. i wonder how much the license costs. 🤦♂
Awesome! To align everything without having to score the back piece you can cut out fixtures/templates out of cardboard or wood. They will come extremely helpful for assembling large quantities.
Hi Laser Dave, Thank you so much for this video. Just when you think you can't learn anything new! Bitly is blocking the link to the files saying it is harmful.
That's a cool looking sign
which is the high grade double sided that I use in the video?
Excellent 💪⭐️❤️
Never worked w braille beads yet and wanted to know when you add the small piece of double sided tape to the back of the silver wont that keep the silver piece that much off and away from the black spacer and not flush?
Hey Mike! The double-sided tape is so thin that it is not visible on the surface plastic, but the tape is necessary to keep the braille beads in place.
what is the diameter of the circles for the Acrylic Raster® Spheres?
You can google what the standard braille dots size is.
Braille spheres are 0.064" in diameter. A laser engraver is capable of producing a hole that is approximately 0.062 inches in diameter and 0.066" deep that will provide a friction fit in a solid material for the sphere. I have made thousands of ADA signs from Dupont Corian solid surface material, it is my choice for ADA sign material. A half inch thick material allows you to machine a keyhole on the back of the sign for hanging. The sign can also be easily removed from the wall if you have a window machined in the sign that needs to be changed on occasion.
What is the diameter of the laser engraved holes?
Hi Miguel! The diameter of the hole for the braille beads is 0.056," or if using a braille font, it is a 20-point font.
@@TrotecLaser The ADA requires the use of Grade 2 Braille, you cannot meet the specs by simply using a font. Aaron Koehl has a Corel Draw plugin that produces perfect Grade 2 braille that makes it easy to create and edit Braille. I think the price is 50 bucks.
@@keithoutten1671 Keith thanks for your replies on this video. I was under the understanding that you could use an online translator to spit out the necessary characters for the grade 2, then use that character set with the normal Braille characters (font) to output the grade 2. Am I way off here? the translators have characters on the output (they also have the svg files as an option as well). again, thanks for your commenting on this video.
Laser Dave,
How do I find the link to this project? Is it in corel draw or this video somewhere?
