Hand Made Hot Stamping Machine

Recommended Posts

I have been thinking of doing this as well. For the heater how many Watts are you running? Are you just doing embossing and no foil ?

This machine is running with 2 resistance of 300wats each; that is very good because it heats faster. In this moment i´m doing only embossing but i already experimented with foil and does a good job; you only have to be aware of the time.

why pay 1500/2000 euros when you can do it for 200 euros at home :)

Exactly.. Did you use cartridge heaters like this ? And it looks like the embossing plate may be brass ? Thank you so much for the info .. http://www.gordosales.com/store/pc/HDC00059-p6241.htm?gclid=CjwKEAjwkMWgBRCJ1L_wypbX0wkSJAC3Xio2OeuF76jIl_7uBYffOdLOhaHKnu4qE-66qUqbRLFuvBoCcgjw_wcB

the cartridge heaters look like that itch. they are 1,5cm diametre and 8 cm lenght. The wires also look alike. The embossing plate is not brass it is iron or steel i dont know what is because i had send the piece made and i explained for what was the purpose, but the embossing plate in contact with water stay with superficial rust so i imagine it is iron

I `m looking better and i think the embossing plate is steel and the metal part where the cartridge heaters enter is iron.

Moody I'm very impressed with your test sample, but it have one question. What is the advantage of hot stamping to normal embossing?

hello lois. I´m na amateur in this área; but i think the difference of hot stamping to embossing without heat is that for leather with the final treatment the embossing doesnt grab and with the heat it stays. for example the vegetable tanned leather the embossing with na arbor press its easy but i´ve tried with a treated piece of leather and the embossing only stays for a few hours. hope that you understand because my english is not the best. If i am wrong i hope that some one correct´s me :) thanks

Looks awesome!

Do you have any guide on making this? tutorial or wiring schematics? Results are awesome!


Can you show how the bottom plate looks like? Do you insert a dye in place, or is it all once piece?
