bruce johnson Report post Posted June 22, 2009 Eric, I have one that is similar. It is a rotary shaft tool with an oscillating handpiece. You chuck a stamp into it. The one I have was sold by company called SpeedStamper. The chuck is large enough that most all my stamps fit it. I haven't seen their ads for a while so they may not be in business anymore. Silver engravers can use one of the engraving systems, Barry King was making stamps with the shanks turned down to fit those. These work pretty well with the walking tools - bevelers, some pear shaders, and matting tools. They oscillate fast enough that the checkering effect is lost, but the tool burnish is more than using the same equivalent in smooth stamps. I sure don't use mine for everything, but when I have a large order with several beadlines to bevel it really speeds things along and is less fatiguing. When I was dealing with the rotator cuff problems it was a real plus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericluther Report post Posted June 22, 2009 I thought it was very interesting, the video of him doing the HD letters looked pretty good, and super fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Regis Report post Posted June 22, 2009 I have a Foredom Graver that is similar to what Bruce described but, with adjustable speed & stroke. If I had a beveler or backgrounder to fit it I'd probably use it a good bit. But, with engraving chisels and diamond point it has not be useful on leather (great on tiney gold & silver work).
