Wording and size
Sizes go by the longest side: 12 in (12" diameter); 18 in (18" diameter); 24 in (24" diameter). Send the exact name, number and any date, or your logo, sketch or photo. The images show one of our example designs with invented names; your sign is drawn to your wording and proofed before we cut. Bigger sizes are a custom quote.
Images are renderings from our own CAD until we photograph a production sign. Raw steel color and mill scale will vary. We also cut timber brackets, mounts, plates and one-off custom parts.
Why laser-cut
Cut to the approved proof
Each sign is cut on our xTool 1200W fiber laser from the dimensioned proof you approve.
Tight tolerances
Fiber-laser cutting holds tight tolerances, so every plate matches its drawing.
Clean, square edges
A narrow kerf leaves crisp edges and sharp inside corners, with no torch bevel to grind off.
Accurate hole placement
Holes are cut from the same file as the outline, so they land where the drawing says, set after set.
Minimal heat and dross
A small heat-affected zone and little slag mean flat plates and less cleanup than plasma or torch cutting.
Parts that match the drawing
Every part starts as a dimensioned drawing. Repeat orders come off the same file.

Questions
What can I put on it?
Your name, farm, business, house number, road, an established year or a short line of your own, plus a scene such as a lighthouse, lobster boat, spruce trees, a moose or a blueberry field. Send the exact text and any logo, sketch or photo on the quote form. We send a proof before we cut.
Can you cut my logo or my own design?
Standard layout included: we set your wording in this style and send a proof. No design fee. Very fine detail may be simplified so it holds together in steel; the proof shows exactly what we'll cut.
How is size measured?
By the longest side. The other side follows the design; the size list above gives both. Sizes past our list are a custom quote.
Are these official address signs?
They are decorative, cut-to-order signs. If your town requires a specific size or reflective marker, check that first or mention it on the quote.
Is hardware included?
No. Hardware not included. Customer supplies lag screws or bolts. Mounting holes are cut with the sign. Pick the hole size that suits your fasteners: 3/8" for about 5/16" lag screws, 7/16" for about 3/8" lag screws or bolts, 9/16" for about 1/2" lag screws or bolts.
What finish?
Raw unfinished steel, laser-cut and deburred. Mill scale and surface rust are normal; clear, oil or paint it to suit. Powder coat is coming later.
How is it cut?
On an xTool 1200W fiber laser, from a dimensioned drawing. That gives tight tolerances, clean square edges and accurate, repeatable hole placement, with far less heat distortion and dross than plasma or torch cutting.
When does it ship?
Made to order. Typical handling is 3–5 business days after you approve the proof.
