Hello

I'm curious what type of machine or procedure is used to do the metal work on the branding iron found at http://brandish.com.

Also, what type of file would be required for the machine to create the image?

I really appreciate any assistance.

Best regards,
David L.

You would use a CNC Mill to create the actual branding end of the Iron. The shaft (handle) would either need to be bought or made on a lathe. As far as programming the Mill, a CAM package with an Art add-on would be the best. This would allow you to scan in images and turn them into CNC programs. :)
