Hand held leather electric embosser

[LTRA84]

Hi Guys, 

 

Does anyone know where i can purchase an embosser like this? I need to personalise baby leather items with initials. I've looked extensively and not seen anything like this. I have seen the usual China made ones but I would like an alternative as the last time I bought one it was an absolute hassle. 

 

Thank you in advance

I'm not sure about the heating element, but we're extremely happy with Nick from Artisans brass stamp he made for us. http://www.artisans.co.uk/ Top notch craftsmanship and recommended to us from Nigel (Dangerous Beans).

Thank you but I am only looking at the heating element for now.

I should specify that I am looking for the heating element

A number of online suppliers to the woodworking community in the USA carry what I think you're wanting.  I'm not sure what temperature range you need but several of these are adjustable.  Perform a Google search for "woodworking branding irons electric".

Wonderful I appreciate your response. I was told between 330 TO 600 Watts (leather mostly vegetable tanned not more than 2mm thick)

I used a 200 watts heating element in my unit and it worked without any issues. I am using 100 watts now and it does the job. You don't want to burn the leather . It doesn't take a lot of heat  to leave a nice impression...at least from my experience
