Teslabolt Report post Posted January 4, 2020 Hey everybody. I could use some assistance figuring this out. If I want to be able to consistently stamp these coasters, for example, what would you guys do? Assuming some sort of jig. It seems like it would be nice to be able to attach my brass stamps (threaded) to a modified ram for the 1 ton HF arbor press. Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Make a square cup that fits around your press's square shaft, . . . make it out of 3/4 or 1 inch steel, . . . put a 1/4 inch floor plate on it, . . . hold it on the shaft with a set screw you turn with your fingers Attach your brass stamps thru a piece of 1/4 or 3/8 inch steel so they are screwed in place and cannot move on the plate. Set a rail in the rear that bumps the stamps, . . . it will always be centered then. I use brass stamps on some of my stuff, . . . but they are small enough that I can use them under my ram, . . . yours look too big. To be successful, . . . you need that pressure to be the same all over the area being stamped, . . . OH, . . . and cut a piece of 1 inch pvc pipe about 36 inches long. When you are applying pressure on your ram, . . . that piece of PVC used as a cheater over the regular handle makes life a lot easier, . . . believe me I do enough of it that I learned that lesson all too well. My PVC handle sits just outside my shop door, . . . easily accessible and readily handy.
