You might try BEILERS MFG. & SUPPLY, with warehouse at 3025 Harvest Dr., Ronks, Pa. 17572 or manufacturing at 290 S. Groffdale Rd., Leola, Pa.

It is my understanding that hey make the machines offered by the Amish and they are, indeed, very well made. I have one that I purchased from Millers and am very pleased. They also have a great selection of brass rolls that are superb.

I have seen anew machine by Beilers and it has an open end shaft that mat allow larger rolls to be used.

God Bless.

The Tandy embossing machine ( that's the model 3800) pictured above on the e-Bay link has been the subject of a voluntary recall by Tandy because of inconsistent construction by their factory in China. Many machines were just not working. So I'll suggest people keep away from that model until the production problem is solved. It's too bad. They'd hoped that the new model would fix the problem with their previous embosser.

That explains why I cant find ANY of the belt embossing products on tandy's site. Anyone happen to have the diminsions for the older model 3800 rollers? I am going to see about playing with electoetching some designs on blank rollers im having a friend make, but not sure how big of diamater roller the machine can handle? I know that the inside hole is 1" and i believe the key channel is 3/16 wide, but thats about it...

The largest diameter roll I have from the evil empire is at 1 5/8". The rolls from Bunkhouse Tools weigh in at 1 7/8" and larger and don't generally work on the empire's machine.

I keep threatening to make some embossing rolls but have been just too busy with regular stamps to get into any new developments. Cheers!

I know this is an old topic but am bored today and thought I would just chime in. I have one of those hand crank units from Tandy. I do not use it much, but it works fine, after fidgeting with it to get it all adjusted right. I once had the whole thing spring apart halfway through a belt! My fault for not assembling it properly! The bronze embossing wheels are expensive, not really that great in the quality of it's imprints and not much of a variety out there. Wet press is the only way to get a proper emboss. About a year (2007 or so) after I bought it Tandy came out with an open end powered unit but a recent visit to the local store revealed the employees knew very little about either tool and they did not carry them. They did however have a Tippman Boss that I drooled over for awhile before the price tag shocked me back to the reality that I must hand sew for the time being  LOL.

There is a guy on Etsy from Varna, Bulgaria who produces embossing rollers and they are crisp. He makes them out of brass. He also makes flat stamps out of brass but also stainless steel, I don't know if he will make the rollers out of SS or not, but you can ask him. He will get back to you pretty quick. The name of his site is LeatherStampTools and the stuff of his on Etsy is amazing. His name is Sergey.

Sergey, is on this forum.

I have just had an excellent experience getting a custom stamp made by him.

I saw his Etsy while trying to find a hand crank machine.

 

Anyone have any recent leads on ones that aren't $900 shipped right out of China?
