This is my first attempt at v-carving. It measures 1” x 3”. I need to stamp this into leather but I’m out of time and will probably rush order a custom brass stamp online since I don’t have the knowledge or appropriate bits. I need something like my brass maker’s mark.

I’m thinking the Amana 46280-K and / or 46282-K? Also - I set this cut up with Advanced V-Carve in Carbide Create using a 1/8” flat cut endmill and a Amana 30 degree v-bit, but it never prompted me for a bit change when the v-but was done. Did I miss a step? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/8/81f0977cedb697891de6d6f5b97ec9ba6808ada1.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/e/a/ea16db8a77cea6b0e68953b8c42d450fd4d22f4b.jpeg) ---

I placed an order for a brass stamp, but would still love suggestions on bits & such that would help me make my own custom brass stamps for use with my leather business. I assume the Onefinity is fully capable of machining stuff like this? The preview doesn’t show tapered walls, but that would be my intention - just wasn’t sure how to generate the CAM for that in Fusion. ![JOY Stamp Preview.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/8/1/8188cf4cde3045b078b48e833e3ab740ad9874d4.jpeg) ---

That is pretty cool what you made here. Did you upload the model from CC to the company that made this? And who was it? Thanks ---

Thanks! The design was created from a font I found online. I’d love to machine these myself in the future, but haven’t gotten that far yet. I ended up sending the vector graphics file to [www.leatherstampmaker.com](http://www.leatherstampmaker.com) and they machined it for me. ---

They did a good job with your design. Would like to know where you found the font… Thanks ---

I usually download fonts from Abstract Fonts dot com. There’s a Categories button at the top of the page where you can filter the style of font you’re looking for. Here’s a few photos of the final product. I had the same company make a brass stamp for my maker’s mark, which I attached to a variable temp 200 watt heating iron. ![20201223-FE9C5141-B901-4733-ADB0-E311AC728983](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/5/5b3c899b79ea2a8dfb44f2676ac8e78113f1dacd.jpeg) ![APC_0870-hdr](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/6/620979f11d98f5626d0b0dbf5292c57d0c8e2682.jpeg) ![APC_0876-hdr](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/d/dbcf3dc6b12d5cdb6b5df51c4b457693cb8a68eb.jpeg) > **[Initial Caps](https://www.abstractfonts.com/tags/initial-caps)** > > 150 free fonts tagged as 'Initial Caps'
