It would also take two stencils. One for the red, one for the white although the white could basically just be a circle done first so that would be easy.
I have heard that Shopsmith isn't too favorable of people reproducing their logo though?
Edit, as I see there is a black ring around the outside also.
Thanks ddub! There is someone here locally that has a large (3'X4') flat bed laser that will cut the stencil. To me the issue is finding a material that will snug down on the rough cast iron to create crisp lines.
If you look at the original the lines between the red and white are very crisp.
As for the black line around the outside, I thought at first it was because the logo was a decal. However, the rest of the logo appears to be paint. I do not know what the black circle is but look at 8 o'clock and you see the remnants of a white outer band that matches the black circle. Maybe it was some kind of primer although it doesn't show up any where else.
When I first uploaded the picture on Skip's group someone responded that it was a demo machine and it was only the fourth one he had seen with a painted logo. All the others had a metal logo plate like the one on the operators side.
As far as reproducing the SS logo, I doubt that in this case there would be a problem. I am certainly not going to worry about it.
