CobbT Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Called to place a order today & had the sad news mastergrave will cease trading after today. If you want to grab a bargain give them a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_ Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Really!! Blimey. That leaves a big gap in the market if both UMarq and Mastergrave close down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian platt Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Sad news Another victim of how trade is changing, it’s sad to hear when a company you know and have been used to is closing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Does anyone know of a supplier of the wood backing boards, the rustic slices and the wooden memorial stakes? It is good to see that Pantographservices are still here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_ Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Charles Birch do a range of backing boards, wood slices and a memorial cross. Stock always says "0" if you are in the South as all engravable stock is carried in Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da miller Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 should we start supplying each other at trade as i have been doing my own plates for years i will post pics if it is ethical to the forum rules also i think stock has become a problem for some where 5-10 prs at a time is no longer feasible i carry 20 -30 different types of soles rubber,pvc,nat brn,blk,sep,units yes i know silly!! but old world, must be hard for new gen,to give this variety to customer so what about a trade counter were we could offer 1 or 2 prs all our supplers will give 1 key 1tin 1spray 1tag but not one will give you 1pr of soles or heels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lest@masterkey Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Any idea who can supply parts ?

Bronco78th Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Yeah really sad and not good for anyone, helped me out by supplying one of those american Cross Alun keys a couple of months back after I needed one for a part. big area and boots to fill for someone potentially. One thing thats bothering me is i think we are all going to funnel into using Laser engravers....which for me is currently not possible.....seems even basic parts for Rotaries are becomes so hard to come by as the market is now a wash with Lasers. Im struggaling to get hold of the test tape as I don't have a huge amount left as Umarq used to sell it now don't and mastergrave used to sell it who have gone. only too places I can see have it are Charlie Birch where im waiting in a pile for a trade account and Aldridge Security who im trying to get hold of to see if they have any in stock, before i go through the registration rigmarole.

Try and get some clear application tape from somewhere like MDP Supplies. It's used for applying vinyl when signmaking, very similar stuff.

Paul_ Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 I've just spoken to Amanda at www.theengravingworkshop.co.uk . This was the engraving website and sister company of Mastergrave, if you need anything that they used to sell then give her a call on 07565 975081 anything they are not stocking they will get for you. All accounts will be pro-forma (don't blame them either!) da miller and Vinny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
