1" diameter disc with engraving - where to buy?

Post by 9849 »

I'm going to be setting some corners in a subdivision and the final tract map calls for "1" diameter discs" to be put in concrete? I found washers and tags but haven't found discs. Would tags satisfy that description or is there a specific product I'm not finding?

google "brass disk survey monument suppliers" you can also google "Aluminum Disc"
Usually the same place where you purchase the rest of your filed supplies carry them.

same as in this thread: viewtopic.php?p=56930#p56930

These are the ones I use. They're custom-stamped and very quick to install if you have a good rotohammer and the Berntsen countersink bit.

The Cal Surveyor had an article by a guy who bought his own laser etching machine, think it was a few years back(tried searching for it and no easy hits). Depending on how many you need, it might be worth getting the laser etcher?

The article was by Paul Mabry. It was a great article on a laser engraver. I can't remember when the article came out. The Cal Surveyors only start at 2020 online, though.
