Electric Tooling

For those who have a true physical need for such an item then the benefit is obvious. However, there are always those who are just looking for the next gimmick to make things faster and this is what you get.

Our craft is a true Artisan craft and it has been by hand for centuries, it is not time to change it just to change it. The quality that is achieved by performing ever step by hand (to include dyeing and so on) can not be matched through the use of machinery.

Machinery and shortcuts are for the hobby branch or mass production lines, a craftsman is neither.

Just my $0.02 worth.

There's an ad for it in Shop Talk. Its base price is 700.00. It would be good for someone physically unable to use a mallet. Maybe someone could use or modify one of those battery powered hammers that sears sells. I'll personally be sticking with a mallet as long as I can.

Woodcarverssupply.com in Florida sells a unit that will do the job of powercarving. I have one of the machines but have never used it. It has three types of head attachments. Reciprocating carver, standard chuck for bits up to 1/4", and memory fails me about the third head. Will have to check it out next time I am able to go to the shop.

Thought it might come in handy but have not decided what I can do with it at the moment.

I have always been a tool fanatic so this fit the bill, at the time I saw it. lol.

What you are looking for is a tool system called Power Mallet. The web site is http://powermallet.com/ . I hope this helps tyou, however ths setup costs Not quite $1,000.00 US. So it is not cheap, but if you look at the componets you might be able make someting simaler for less. He is using a motor, flexshaft, and speed control form Foredom Electric Co. web site http://www.foredom.net/ . The kit come with Foredom LX Flex Shaft Motor (5,000 RPM 1/10th HP), Foot Pedal, Desk Top Control unit. And what looks like a Pneumatic Reciprocating tool head. But Foredom also sells that type of tools. try looking at the H.15 Handpiece has hammering rather than rotary action for use at low speed (0-5,000 rpm) 6-1/4" long, 1/4" dia. at tip, wt. 3.65 oz., ship wt. 4.85 oz.

I bought an ancient dremel style engrave/embosser from ebay. Renewed the 50 year old wiring, and gave it a go.

It seemed to work ok, but too noisy for my liking.

Hello there,

I found the 'power mallet' on YouTube.

I was exited for the possibility to stamp my leather one handed..then the price put me off!!

I and practicing with my disabled left arm, not with success.

More research needed I'm afraid..and work out the advanced buying the power mallet.

Kind regards

I looked into the idea of converting an air compressor powered descaler tool into a leather tooling thingy, just out of curiosity.

Again, it's the noise which put me off going ahead and trying it.
