Aluminum vs. Brass

Woodworkers may be interested to learn about the differences between aluminum and brass branding irons. Both are durable and simple to use. However, they require different heating methods. To ensure you are using the right heat, practice with scrap materials before you start. For example, you should heat the iron over a gas stove for five minutes or a torch for a minute before using it on a piece of wood.


A branding iron's main function is livestock branding. The irons of today can be either fired or powered by an electric motor. Irons can even be supercooled with dry or gas ice. A cattle's branding is proof of its ownership. Woodworkers can use either electric-heated or fire irons. Timber used in export packaging will be marked by them, often in accordance to ISPM 15.

Gearheart torch heated custom engraving irons

Gearheart torch heated custom branding tools are an essential tool for avid woodworkers. These custom branding irons are made from aircraft-grade 6061T6 aluminium alloy, and extremely tough brass. Each one has a TIGwelded 304L Stainless Steel handle and a soft hardwood grip.


Although branding irons are simple to use there are many things to consider before you make a purchase. The temperature of the brand iron is vital - leather, rubber and other materials require temperatures between 325°F and 400°F. Hardwoods, thermoset plastics, and other materials need a higher or lower temperature according to their density. These materials require a specific temperature. This can be determined through testing. Make sure to read the instructions carefully and follow the manufacturer's recommended temperature ranges and operating guidelines.

Place the iron on the provided stand and plug it into an electric outlet. Use a towel to protect any heat-resistant surfaces.

Proper artwork is required if the branding iron will be used for woodworking projects. The artwork should be in the form of a vector image.

How To

How do you accurately measure wood?

Wood measurement can be done using several methods. We use a digital caliper (a tool used to measure distances), a laser level (used to make sure your work surface is flat), and a bubble level (used to make sure your work surface is perpendicular).

Two jaws can be opened and closed on a digital caliper. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.

Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. By looking down the line, you can see whether the surface is even or not. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.

Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
