Personalized wood branding kits

[cdrover(Clyde)]

Does anyone use a branding kit to mark their products. If so what is the best to get, electric/tourch heated. I have seen one at Rockler for $105. What are your suggestions?

Hey Clyde, I have an electric iron and like it very much. It is more expensive but I think having an open flame in the shop is not the way to go!

I use an electric one. If you have a woodworking show or a Rockler around you, you should be able to get it cheaper than 105.00. I think I only paid 65.00 for mine a few years ago. The only bad side of electric is it takes time to heat up and if you use it to stamp a lot of stuff it has to reheat during stamping. I agree the torch in the shop may not be a good idea. Mike

I also have an electric purchased at. Woodcraft.  You buy it in the store then send in a form and the UPC and they promptly ship the personalized head back to you.  Other places offer more options for the brand but the one from woodcraft was simple ans a little less expensive and does a good job.  I agree that electric is the way to go, if nothing else, then for consistency.
