Simple CNC marking/writing apparatus?

[kywoodwrkr]

I don't want a temporary printing.
I want the print to remain on the piece.
Be cause if I'm as slow at assembling these parts as I have been in getting the machine put together, I'll forget which part was what.
I'll be taxed even with some verbage.
What I'd like to end up with is a part cut out ith an assembly part number on it.
Nothing elaborate.
I think possibly a ball point pen refill assembly in the unpowered router would probably work. Should be able to use a 1/8" chuck possibly even.
Thanks.

Route numbers into the parts, and just route out the parts.

Something like this, maybe?

when cutting why not leave bridges and route in a cut sheet #. assosiate the cut sheet # with the template or assymbly drawings so if you have multiple parts in one sheet you dont knock it out until its ready to be put together just like in a model.. if you want to # it and dont want to damage the peice and if the cutter is fine enough you can route the # or part # below or in room.

Pen25,
I just want to be able to print/write or other wise note on each piece what its part number is.
Person using them may not have a clue how, when or etc they were made.
I'm anal about making things as fool proof as possible for the end user.
Comes from over 30 years of installing computer systems in the end user environment.
Sol,
Considered plotting pens but figured they would bleed on the softer woods, chestnut, balsa etc.
I did save your picture however.
I'll try and talk my local blue print shop out of a couple older pens for experimentation.
Thanks again all.
Every idea has parts which are usable.
If not here, then on the next question. :-|
Thanks.
