Members DieselTech Posted March 8, 2024 Members Report Posted March 8, 2024 Nice work. I checked them out a month or month & half ago. I was debating if I wanted to spend the money to get into a different technique. Quote
Members SUP Posted March 8, 2024 Members Report Posted March 8, 2024 (edited) The results look nice but look evidently machine-made and not hand-made, at least what is shown on their site. Edited March 8, 2024 by SUP Quote
Members RidgebackCustoms Posted March 8, 2024 Members Report Posted March 8, 2024 I think this could be a great way to introduce leatherwork to people with limited or no use of one arm. Quote

CFM tsunkasapa Posted March 9, 2024 CFM Report Posted March 9, 2024 Saw this on Face Book. It didn't seem to be getting much traction there either. Quote
Members dikman Posted March 9, 2024 Members Report Posted March 9, 2024 An interesting idea that reminded me of something else I had seen, it took me a day to remember. I saw a similar device to do engraving on metal rather than using a hammer and engraving bit. It could have its uses, I guess, and would certainly be quicker than the traditional methods but I think you would have to have a delicate touch to compare with manual tooling, it would be very easy to overdo it.

Moderator bruce johnson Posted March 9, 2024 Moderator Report Posted March 9, 2024 The concept is not exactly new but this tooling is. It looks like it is a handy size. Several years ago there was an oscillating handpiece sold with a rotary shaft tool. I can't remember the name but had one. Later JJ Maxwell sold one similar. They worked off the oscillating action and at least the one I had came with a chuck big enough most regular stamps could fit with no modification. Some people use the GraverMax for silver engraving and modified tools to fit that handpiece. Barry King offered to turn down the shanks of his stamps to fit in that handpiece and may still do that on request. I am not going to throw out the baby with bathwater on any of these. Several years ago I had dislocated my thumb (done it a few times) and was facing a bunch of orders with hard deadlines. Swivel knives and a lot of stamping hits were a problem. I borrowed a swivel tip cutter and gripped it with a fist to cut lines. I had the oscillating handpiece on the rotary shaft tool and that ran the walking stamps like bevelers and shaders. It saved a lot of hits. There is a definite place for these type tools, I passed mine on to someone with some physical issues to use when I healed. If this had been 19 years ago, Id have ordered this last Thursday. Quote
