I'm attempting to create some ADA signs with embossed braille characters. Nothing serious just room numbers and some restroom signs. I got a set of Gerber ADA bits but I need some guidance. When I emboss Braille into the sign face how much room should I allow for the box around the Braille dots. Should the edge of the box have the same round over as the Braille dots or do I need to switch to a straight bit to clean up the edges? Should I set the depth for the full .030" or would something less produce a better product? So far I'm just using Rowmark's ADA alternative as a medium. Is there a better material for this?
These are the first of many questions. Any other advice that comes to mind would be greatly appreciated.
