Dallas Cowboy Report post Posted May 14, 2012 Wondering who makes the best makers mark. Would really like a steel one, not plastic, and one that will last a long time and not break the bank. Thanks DC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Nelson Report post Posted May 15, 2012 Oops, missed the steel part, my bad, lolInfinity, the best I have ever had/ I currently use a pair of steel stamps inc which are really good stamps but they loused up the handle on both and got really snotty when i contacted them about it. There were posts on this site a couple of years ago on my experience. Infinity is worth the money and they are super good. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mkspence Report post Posted November 29, 2012 I got mine recently from Black River Laser in Ohio. Fantastic Customer Service! I highly recommend them...but not metal. blackriverlaser@gmail.com You will hear from Joyce ASAP! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Nelson Report post Posted November 29, 2012 Infinity- super, super great! Steel Stamps Inc, Very Very good, but discuss the knurling before you order. I didn't and have one I hate the knurling on and have another that is not great, good but not great for me. Impressions are super good on both stamps. Infinity is a bit easier to line up straight but not a lot easier. I would recommend either. HTH Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
immiketoo Report post Posted November 29, 2012 Whats wrong with the plastic ones? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lwleathers Report post Posted November 29, 2012 Whats wrong with the plastic ones? Metal stamps like steel or brass are much more durable than plastic, especially the ones for hammering. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmbossingDieCompany Report post Posted November 29, 2012 Since I make the plastic ones......I highly recommend them!!! Less expensive and still durable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glendon Report post Posted December 1, 2012 Metal stamps are more durable, but the Delrin plastic stamps will still last years of normal use. Working shops would want metal stamps for all but small batch projects, but hobbiests I think can use use a Delrin stamp easily for some time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raysouth Report post Posted February 22, 2013 Phillips makes some nice stamps but have to say that the delrin stamps do work very well and I have several that after much use, are not indicating any wear. One of those preference things, for everyone making all the varied items produced today. Good luck. Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
