talon Report post Posted June 9, 2013 I'm am in need of stamping custom logos on a few thousand pieces of veg tanned leather per month. I plan on using a custom cut stamp (approx 1.25 x 2.5") and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tnawrot2 Report post Posted June 9, 2013 The leather you are stamping your logo on, how big is it? I would suggest getting a foot press or an electric 5 ton punch press. You will have to have your logo stamp attached to to a rod the size that would fit your press. Then make a fixture that would hold and center your piece. Attach the fixture to the press table.

Thanks for the suggestion! I never considered such a piece of equipment but I was able to find a 20 ton punch press locally for $800. I'm picking it up tomorrow! I think it will work great. Thanks!
