How do I customize lettering for the branding iron??? Where do you do that???
Charles on Dec 4, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Hi, Charles
I got my branding iron as a birthday gift from my wife. I'm very pleased.
As you probably know, you get the lettered brass fitting by sending your request voucher to the manufacturer. You'll receive the branding iron itself in the mail and included is a voucher you can mail in with exactly what you want your "brand" to look like. You have a great deal of choices illustrated for you or you can request whatever design you want (with size and length limitations).
I wish I requested a date indicator on mine. I'm happy with the brand itself. It's exactly what I ordered. But now I'd like to be able to put a date on it somehow. I'm thinking of buying a wood burning set and hand numbering my brand.
Hope this is helpful.

It states that there are 15 options to choose from..... Is there somewhere I can see those options?
Laurie on Nov 27, 2015
BEST ANSWER: If you look at the pictures on the item's page on the Rockler website, use the scroll button on the right to view additional pictures. The last one shows the graphic options available. As of the date of this answer, the direct link to the picture is http://assets.rockler.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/720x720/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/s/t/standard_design_branding_irons_1.jpg
I started to order one of these, but I have not been asked what Information I wanted on it. When do they ask for my information?
Floydster on Nov 9, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The gift set includes a card with a number that you will need to use when accessing a website that will let you choose which branding iron head you want and what you want it to read. Once that is completed the head is then made and sent to you
I already have the head to the branding iron but can I buy just the branding stick?
Dowen G on Feb 9, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes you can. But when I bought mine , there was no branding head, it was just the stick. I had to fill out a form on line so they could make me the head, and what I wanted it to say.
Can I buy just a replacement head for my torch heated iron?
Gary T on Nov 22, 2015
BEST ANSWER: They told me that if I wanted another one with different information I could order it, of course I would have to pay for any additional plates/heads. I am assuming you are using the branding iron that is carried by Rocker. I suggest that you contact the office and tell them your model of iron etc. Always good to hear from the horses mouth. Get the phone number from Rocker for there are two branding iron companies on the internet, for I got the wrong number at first.
Sorry not much help
Gloria
Do I have to buy any additional things to have a custom brand that is not one of your choices with this set?
Kathy S on Jun 2, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Hi Kathy it's been awhile since I purchased mine but at that time you were limited to about 10-12 stock layouts that they "dropped" your name into. If you had a custom logo there was a custom option that you could pay additional for however if I remember correctly the cost for a custom head was almost twice the price of the entire unit from Rockler.... check with your local rockler store I believe there is a website specifically for this branding iron that lays out the options!
What's the measurement of the branding head? I turn bowls and want to make sure this isn't to big for what I want. thank you for a response.
David W on Jan 4, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Enter an answer to this question.
Standard head designs are 3/4'' high and the width varies based on the design and amount of characters
Do any of the designs allow for 22 letters per line?
eric s on Feb 11, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Hi, Eric,
My understanding (from the catalog) is : a maximum of 20 letters per line on both large and standard size designs; unless the width of the characters is (all) narrow. In the illustrations in the catalogue, I see that "Rockler Woodworking" takes up 19 spaces with " a little room to spare". I don't know if the foundry folks need that little extra space in their casting process. Might be worth a querry.
Good luck.

I can't get item number 11966 to come up in my search?
Debbie E on Jun 16, 2017
BEST ANSWER: My catalog has the Customized Elecrtic Branding Iron Gift Set as item 54404. Not sure what item number 11966 is. Try 54404. It is on sale until 07 July.
Can I get a head made with my own artwork?
Michael P on May 23, 2017
BEST ANSWER: You would have to go to the logo branding iron #21162
Does the iron come with a design?
Larry T on May 4, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Not quite sure what you mean by design? The unit comes with a certificate to contact the supplier that makes the "head" of the branding iron and you choose from about a dozen different style that you can have personalized with a name on it ( not a logo! Although that is available for an up charge) from time of ordering till receipt it only took about 10 days.
Can I make my own design other than the provided options?
Sammy on Jan 11, 2017
BEST ANSWER: ano - at least I couldn't but you can choose your own words but not the design.
Can all text be customized? For example, not "hand crafted" but "hand painted"?
faith v on Dec 5, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes they can, you need to talk to a representative of the company
I HAVE THE OLDER WOODEN HANDLE STYLE IRON AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE HEAD FROM IT WILL WORK WITH THE NEW STYLE?

Can a custom/personal art work be put on the iron, a logo for a non for profit organization?
Vern L on Oct 23, 2016
BEST ANSWER: You could do that with a logo branding iron

How wide is the branding area?
Jon F on Jul 22, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Jon, The electric branding is available with 15 different standard head patterns to choose from I am assuming they are all about the same size... I selected the basic arch design the brass head is 3/4" X 1 1/2" and the copy end up being 5/8" X 1 3/8. Although I like my electric branding iron it does take a bit of experimentation on different woods to get it right, I let it set approx 10 minutes to heat up and when I apply it to wood I use a rocking motion lean it a bit left and right and forward in back to get an even burn across the print...these work okay for one off craft projects or for 2-3 items at a time...but if you did quanity production you would want to look at a heftier system ( drill press mounted?)
Rockler has illustrated somewhere on their site the 15 standard patterns available... In addition you can order seperate heads, custom logos, signatures etc but at a HEFTY price I am sure you can look that up somewhere to see size availability. One last note . This works well with softwood and normal hardness hardwoods ( walnut maples cherry etc) it does not work with extremely hard woods such as Cocobolo, African Blackwood etc
My name is shorter than the "Rockler Woodworking" example, so the head would not need to be 2" wide. If I want to be able to use the brand in confined space, can I cut off excess brass from the head on right and left of the text?
BRUCE T on Jul 9, 2016
BEST ANSWER: They center your name, and then the design is set to the outside edges of the brass head. So you could cut it off, but you would lose the design elements.
Is there a way of inserting your characters into the iron design before ordering, on the web sight? A visual for fit would help my decision for design purchased.
John M on Dec 23, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I don't believe so - the layout options and letters are selected on a different website after receiving the hardware.
What is the wattage of this unit?
ChrisG on Nov 1, 2015
BEST ANSWER: 150 watt 115 volt. The brand was larger than I was expecting. My fault for not reading actual size. Will work fine on larger projects like boxes or pianos but too large for wine glasses. Good luck!
hi,Do you have this item in 240v supply?
Yousef A on Jul 9, 2017
BEST ANSWER: At this time Rockler does not offer a 240v version of the branding iron.
After I order the gift set, when can expect the branding iron voucher?
Scott B on Jun 18, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The voucher should be in the box of the gift set
I want the iron by fathers day, but do not need the branding head by then, so that my husband can create his own brand. is voucher for that good after 5-26-17?
joy w on May 23, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes it is.
Can I have my simple logo made into a branding iron? I'm not fully understanding how intricate they can me made.
Amber A on Apr 29, 2017
BEST ANSWER: For an order for a branding iron of your own design you'll want to be ordering http://www.rockler.com/logo-branding-iron-electrically-heated instead.
are there directions to put it together? I cannot seem to do it so that it looks like the picture on the box
Samuel N on Jan 19, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Bradning head screws onto barrel, and a set-screw tightens the branding head onto the barrel. 10 seconds to assemble, once you have the branding head. Just make sure to align the head to the proper orientation for your preference before tightening the set-screw.
Is the head interchangeable?
cheryle c on Dec 24, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes - I use 3 heads, one that has my name, one with my wife's name, and a third that includes both of our names. You only need one iron. Just let it cool before you change them!

Big improvement over the prior model
I recently replaced my old heating element with the new product. Unlike its predecessor, this model heats nicely, has a solid feel, and a convenient switch that tells you it is, in fact, on. The new model accepts my old branding head.

The brass piece with male thread that inserts in the handle is held by a locking screw well. Be sure to tighten the screw hard. Once I went back and did that, a slight wobble disappeared altogether..

Great with soft woods - not so good with hard wood.
I thought this was going to be a great way to finish a wood working projects. After speeding hours on several project. I found the following problems.
1. Does do well with end grain branding
2. Branding is uneven and requires serval test boards before applying to the finished product.
3. Impossible to replace the iron without a template
4. Works well on plywood. But who makes cutting board out of plywood?

Works great!
This branding iron works great! I've heard of other branding irons taking a long time to heat up. Not this baby! After turning it on, it's ready to go in just 12 minutes! The only thing I found a little odd about this branding iron is that the head was made, in my opinion, upside down. In other words, when the iron is resting on its stand, the head is upside down. So, when it's ready to be used, you have to pick it up and rotate it 180 degrees so that yoru brand is right side up. This was easy enough to solve, however, by putting the body of the iron in my drill press, and creating a place for the set screw to go on the opposite side of the iron.

Great tool
This is a great tool for branding an identifying mark onto your crafts. It comes with a voucher which you use on the company website to order the brass head of the tool. Plenty of styles to choose from. When it comes to branding time, test on a scrap piece of wood and note the number of seconds you let it burn.

BRANDING IRON
IT DOES NOT WORK AS GOOD AS I EXPECTED. IF YOU EXPECT EXCELLENT RESULTS, I SUGGEST YOU PRACTICE MANY, MANY TIMES. YOU WILL FIND IT MUST BE VERY LEVEL, YOU MUST LEARN WHAT TYPE OF WOOD YOU ARE BRANDING SO THAT YOU WILL NOT BURN THE IMPRINT AND YOU MUST LEARN HOW MUCH PRESSURE TO PUSH WITH. IF YOU DO ALL OF THIS, YOU WILL GET A GREAT IMPRESSION.

It takes a long time to get hot.
I wanted to replace my old branding iron with the newer model with American flags my only regret is that I spent the extra money for the electric unit. It takes 45 min to get hot when my older iron heats in about 5 min with a torch. I love the look of the new iron just not the time delay.

The Quality Remains Long After The Price Is Forgotten
For many years I had wanted a personalized branding iron to mark my finished items but the price for an electric one seemed a bit high so I was quick to buy this one when Rockler offered it on sale. Shipment was fast and I had no trouble using the voucher online to order the personalized branding head. The head arrived in six days and I used the iron to mark the bottoms of several hand dovetailed boxes I had made. I was very pleased with the results. The brand was sharp and well defined on most woods. It works well on poplar, birch, and maple. It does not brand clearly on open grained woods such as red oak but that is not the fault of the branding iron. I have high praise for the branding iron and highly recommend it to other woodworker's.

It takes a while to get hot, but brands ok. The first time I used it, it wasn't hot enough. Good thing I used a scrap piece of wood. You have to wait a little bit to brand another piece. Just plug it in before your ready. It would be nice if it had a light when it gets hot.
