C.h. Hanson 202508 Number 8 Steel Hand Stamp 3/16 Inch

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 202508 is a machine-made individual steel hand stamp designed to mark the numeral 8 into metal, plastic, wood, and similar workpiece materials. The character face measures 3/16 inch (approximately 4.8 mm), making it well-suited for part marking, tooling identification, date coding, and serial number stamping where a compact, legible impression is required. The stamp body measures 2.38 inches in length with a 0.31-inch square shank, providing a positive grip surface for hammer striking. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, maintenance technicians, and fabricators use individual digit stamps like this one when they need to build custom number sequences without purchasing a full set.

This stamp is intended for light-duty to medium-duty hand stamping applications in industrial, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The individual format allows it to be combined with other C.H. HANSON stamps of matching character size to form multi-digit sequences. Typical applications include stamping part numbers on raw stock, marking tooling and fixtures, and applying identification codes to metal components on the shop floor or in the field.

Installation Notes

Hand stamps are used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians without special tooling beyond a ball-peen or engineers hammer. Secure the workpiece firmly before striking to prevent movement and ensure a clean, legible impression. Strike the stamp squarely and with consistent force to avoid double impressions or skewed characters. Always wear appropriate eye protection when using hand stamps.
