Im looking to by a smaller ( hobby ) CNC to accommodate my leather-working hobby. I'd like to use it to start making embossing stamps for the leather like the ones below. The stamps would only have to be an inch or so in total hight, but actually engraving depth would only be about from about 1/16 to an 1/8. but id like to achieve the type of detail on the stamps in the images. The black stamp is Delrin plastic. and the other is brass. I'd like to possibly make some from brass or aluminum, but im not sure if the machines in my budget would be capable of routing something like this out of brass or aluminum. Id like to spend between $1000 and $2000 with software and everything. Right now im looking at purchasing a used Probotix Fireball V90 for around $1000 with bits and basic software.. I looked around for software and I really like the ArtCam program. Do you think this machine and software could work well for my purpose.. obviously i would experiment with other projects too... let me know what you think... any advice would me great since im completely new to this. Im only picking the the Fireball, because its local, but im open to other machines too.
Thanks RR
