C.h. Hanson 202502 Number 2 Steel Stamp 3/16 Inch

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 202502 is a machine-made individual steel stamp for marking the number 2. Designed for use in metal stamping applications, this stamp produces a clean, legible impression on steel, aluminum, and other metals. The character measures 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) in height, making it well suited for part marking, tooling identification, and serialization work. At 0.06 pounds, the stamp is lightweight and easy to handle. Machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die tradespeople rely on this type of stamp for permanent cold-marking where a consistent character impression is required.

This stamp is used in machine shops, manufacturing floors, and maintenance environments where individual characters must be applied one at a time. It fits standard stamp holders or can be struck directly with a ball-peen or stamping hammer. The 3/16 inch character size is a common choice for part identification on medium-to-heavy gauge stock, tooling blocks, and metal fixtures. Sold individually, it can be paired with other C.H. HANSON stamps in the same character size to build a complete numeric set.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or experienced fabricator should ensure the workpiece is secured in a vise or fixture before stamping to prevent movement. Strike the stamp squarely with a ball-peen or stamping hammer to achieve an even impression depth. Inspect the stamp face periodically for wear or chipping, and replace individual stamps as needed rather than continuing to use a deformed character.
