Looking for a Custom Tool Maker

Recommended Posts

I want to get a custom basketweave stamp made. It would have a figure on it, an Indian head. I suppose a CNC machine would be needed. I actually ordered this a couple years ago from a custom tool maker in Wyoming, but I've given up waiting.

Anybody know of any toolmakers I might contact? I saw Gore is still making tools, which surprised me. But can they do CNC work? Does Wayne Juschke do this? Anybody else? Any recommendations, please? Thanks!

Try contacting;

Robert Beard or Barry King, Google them they both have websites.

Steve,

Thanks. I guess I wasn't clear enough.

I am an experienced tool buyer. I know who most of the current toolmakers. The two above can't help. Again, I think a CNC machine may be necessary. Perhaps the question is: who are the tool makers that use CNC technology?

Sounds like you are needing some very detailed engraving in a very small area, between the two legs of a basket stamp. Try your local machine shop. You may also want to try one of the maker stamp mfg, like infinity or harper.

Harvey,

Look online for companies in your area that use packages like Artcam,JewelCad and Monarch are just some of them but these are packages for CNC jewelry and engraving works. Some of these guys should be able to help you in a fairly quick turnaround. They may be a good source to get something like an Indian head done CNC wise in the center of the basketweave. Most of them work in precious metals so there may be some issue with tool steels but I can't answer that definitively. Ask some jewelers as well because they create some intricate works with via CNC.Hope that helps.

Entered this elsewhere but just in case I included it here as well.

Regards,

Ben

I just received one Robert Beard made for me. It was worth the wait and extra money . I had to wait about a year. I realize this is an old post. Just in case there are some new guys & gals looking for a custom stamp.
