That's a very good idea! Sometimes the answer can be right in front of us and we still can't see it. I'll forge up a small marker tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks a lot! Yes, I'll forge a small stamp with the approximate dimensions of the logo and see what I can come up with. Yes! I'll be mostly stamping 80crv2. And I'll need to do some tests at different temperatures to see what works best. I also like the little press! It seems to be somewhat comparable to an #0.5 Thanks a lot - mine is more around 70 kilos. It should still be sufficient. Thanks for writing!

Good idea! I'll take a look in my shop tomorrow and see what I can come up with. Thanks Thanks a lot! Unfortunately there is no manufacturing info on the press anywhere which is surprising as it's quite a well machined piece of equipment.

Hello everyone, Long time reader - first time posting! I've recently purchased a small fly press in Spain and there isn't really any information regarding the amount of force it can produce. I was hoping to use it exclusively for hot stamping a 1x1cm logo into 80crv2 steel. I just wanted to get a few opinions before biting the bullet and putting the order through for the custom stamp. Do you think the force would be sufficient to get a decent impression? The logo has a fair amount of flat space so perhaps I would opt for a less bold option to make things easier if necessary. I've attached a mockup of the touch mark as well. The press stands around 80cm high and is marked with a C. Thanks a lot for your thoughts and opinions, Rian
