What are they called?

[bloobloo]

I am in the process of making a new front panel for my Rand welder, but where the wire feed knob is and the power setting knob, there is a dial with numbers on..... we all have them! I want to print them off and stick em to my new front panel before i put the knobs back on but i have searched for "numbered dials" "round dials" "circular rule" etc etc but I cannot find anything remotley like anything i want. I know I am probably having a brain fade moment but what are they called??

The only thing on the first page is how to make a clock dial, which although is close to what I am looking for the dials all look like well, erm a clock... my main power knob has only 6 increments numbered 1-6. Might work for the wire feed though, as that doesnt need to be precise.

George your right they are very cheap to buy, but same as I say to brightspark not quite right, what search did you put in to find them?

Im not too bothered for the wire speed, as i could just use a tapering circular line for that.

Thanks to all for the advice so far, much appreciated.

Graduations? My first ever job in engineering was with a company making automatic welding machines. I was drawing front panels up on CAD for printing all these.

That's what I always use. Graduated dial, specifically, for the marker plate.

Back in my radio ham/electronics days you used to get (in fact the electronics mags used to give them away) sheets of self-adhesive clear plastic printed with scales to go round knobs of various sizes - 0 to 10 (or 0 to 11 for guitar amps ), 0 to 100, centre-zero etc etc.
Cut to size, peel off backing, stick to panel, attach knob.
