Okay as you see below with the "Granite & Glass" posts what i'm doing are some interior office signs. Some need to be ADA Signs. I have a couple questions i'm hoping some people can answer.

1. If I decide to cut small shapes and engrave names out of small granite tile, say 8"x8" can I just stand there with the router with a mister or do i need to install the mister i bought through shopbottools thats on my shelf collecting dust? OR is doing somethign so small not ever require water. These shapes are approx 3"x4"or5" @1/2" Thick that I will be cutting out. Not very big IMO

2. ADA Signs. I have skimmed through the ADA guidlines and I have a general idea about it. But where do I buy Tactile?
-a. Where do I buy Braile?
-b. Is there software out there that measures out the braile? Or is it done by hand?
c. Where would I get a bit to cut the braile for the tactile?

I'm googling these questions and I can't find anything

Gerber makes a set of bits for ADA engraving, You can also get them at Reece supply, google gerber router bits you should be able to find them.

I've done ADA braille on my PRT96, you can also buy photopolymer for this but that's a whole other process. Let me know if you need anymore advice or help.

Okay found one locally. I had the name wrong i guess, tactile is a real generic name for the material. Thank You all for your help
