Branding Iron
« on: May 30, 2017, 03:08:29 PM »
Can anyone recommend a supplier of custom electric branding iron. The sort where you get a custom brass logo made that will imprint the wood. I've seen the ones the Toolpost sell, I'm looking for something with a faster turnaround!

I've got one from the Toolpost, and the turnaround wasn't actually that bad.  And the quality is good.

Yes I saw those too so I took the plunge and ordered one of these today. Within 2 hours of ordering I received images of the brand and test prints on some wood! The postage cost was high but overall I think it's cheaper than the Toolpost option and as I wanted a 25mm head (which the Toolpost don't do) I went for the Etsy one.

I will let you know how it works when it arrives...

Would be great to know what you think...did you have to send some suggested art work for the iron?
