Members builderofstuff Posted July 19, 2016 Members Report Posted July 19, 2016 I had a go at making myself a simple makers stamp this afternoon. All in all I'm pretty happy with it. Chris Quote Just a man, a shop, and a long list of unfinished projects..... My Website My Etsy Shop
bikermutt07 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 Looks great. Gotta ask. What material/process are you using to make these. Sorry, newb here. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members builderofstuff Posted July 20, 2016 Author Members Report Posted July 20, 2016 The material is delrin and I'm milling them on a small benchtop milling machine that's CNC controlled. Chris Quote Just a man, a shop, and a long list of unfinished projects..... My Website My Etsy Shop

Members Rohn Posted July 20, 2016 Members Report Posted July 20, 2016 Looks good. I too was wondering how you did this, so thanks for the explanation. Quote Rohn(John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV)
Members Studio-N Posted July 20, 2016 Members Report Posted July 20, 2016 looks good. I've done some on the CNC. finding the right bit to get between the letters was the challenge. I finally settled on a 20 degree v-bit which seems to work but I can only fit about 13 letters in each arch. what was the size of this one? Quote "Out of my mind.....back in 5 minutes"

I use a 30 degree cutter on it with a 1/16" endmill for cleanup. The stamp is an inch tall. The downside to milling them is all the fuzz left after milling that has to be cleaned up.

The stamp is an inch tall. The downside to milling them is all the fuzz left after milling that has to be cleaned up. I did the reverse of that. I used an 1/8" mill bit to rough cut it. then the 22 degree to do the final cut. I did mine as a 3d model and even with a 1/32" end mill the simulation said it wouldn't fit between the letters on everything, guess I'll experiment (some day when I have a few hours and it's not 100 degrees in the garage). you might try a toothbrush to get the fuzz off.

Where bouts in missoura are you I hadn't really planned on it. They take a good while to make so unless I could come up with a way to quickly reproduce them I just don't think its feasible.
