Hand Made Hot Stamping Machine

just finished bulding this hot stamping machine Works beautifully.

I have been thinking of doing this as well. For the heater how many Watts are you running? Are you just doing embossing and no foil ?

[Moody]

This machine is running with 2 resistance of 300wats each; that is very good because it heats faster. In this moment i´m doing only embossing but i already experimented with foil and does a good job; you only have to be aware of the time.

this is test of the embossing of this machine

why pay 1500/2000 euros when you can do it for 200 euros at home

Exactly.. Did you use cartridge heaters like this ? And it looks like the embossing plate may be brass ? Thank you so much for the info .. http://www.gordosales.com/store/pc/HDC00059-p6241.htm?gclid=CjwKEAjwkMWgBRCJ1L_wypbX0wkSJAC3Xio2OeuF76jIl_7uBYffOdLOhaHKnu4qE-66qUqbRLFuvBoCcgjw_wcB

the cartridge heaters look like that itch. they are 1,5cm diametre and 8 cm lenght. The wires also look alike. The embossing plate is not brass it is iron or steel i dont know what is because i had send the piece made and i explained for what was the purpose, but the embossing plate in contact with water stay with superficial rust so i imagine it is iron

I `m looking better and i think the embossing plate is steel and the metal part where the cartridge heaters enter is iron.
