colttrainer Report post Posted March 19, 2011 I have a question for the folks that are making stamps. What are you using for a machine to do the the design work? Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted March 20, 2011 A CNC machine would be great, but I think most folks are using files and sanders and drills (okay, maybe a drill PRESS). Major manufactures, like Craftool, tend to have molds and cast the heads of the stamps, then braze on the handle, then chrome plate the whole thing. For the all stainless steel tools, a LOT of the work is done by hand.....which is why they cost upwards of $75 each. If you're talking about the maker's stamps, the Delrin rod stamps are typically designed on computer then laser cut. Some metal stamps may either be cast or milled.
