Looking at cutting out some office door signs on the router...43 of them. But they need braille on them. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

Order them from someone who specializes in braille signs. Plenty of profit and let someone else do the work. Years ago you could reverse cut tiny circles for the braille, but then the lawmakers decided to make the dimples round, like half spheres. Height and size is strictly regulated. I saw an ad for an outfit selling braille balls to be glued onto the surface after engraving dimples. But I feel the best signs are the single piece signs. No way for a braille ball to fall off. The company I dealt with will make the complete sign with all graphics finished, or like I ordered them, clear panel with braille and raised letters painted. I installed the vinyl graphics in reverse on the back, I put VHB tape on the back and installed them.
