Someone experianced can tell the difference between a laser cut and a die
cut edge. I make parts for Mules (and other things) and I try to make 100%
exact copies. However, there are always little tiny things that I can look
at and determine which is my copy and which is the original. I doubt few
people would ever be able to tell. But the fact that I can tell the
difference tells me that there would be others out there as well who could,
so I don't feel like I'm keeping some big secret. If you really are getting
so close that you cannot even tell yourself then maybe make some deliberate
minuscule changes, like a 0.030" chamfer instead of a 0.045", or a 0.45"
corner radius instead of a 0.500", for example. Since I'm not the one
actually selling the parts I haven't had to deal with how they get marked,
but I believe they are represented as reproductions not NOS.
