C.h. Hanson 207513 Steel Number Stamp Character 3

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 207513 is a machine-made individual steel stamp for marking the number 3 on metal, wood, plastic, and other hard materials. The character face measures 1/16 inch (1.6 millimeters), making it suited for fine, precise marking work. The stamp body is 2.5 inches long, 0.31 inches wide, and 0.31 inches tall, with a compact profile that fits standard hand-stamping workflows. Constructed from hardened steel, it delivers consistent, clean impressions when struck with a hammer. This stamp is sold individually and is intended for machinists, fabricators, tool-and-die workers, maintenance technicians, and other trade professionals who need reliable part marking or identification stamping.

This stamp is used in manufacturing, maintenance, and fabrication environments where permanent character marking is required. Typical applications include stamping part numbers, serial numbers, or identification marks on metal components, tooling, fixtures, and assemblies. The 1/16-inch character size is appropriate for tight-tolerance surfaces or smaller workpieces where larger stamps would not fit. It integrates into a set of individual stamps or can be used as a standalone replacement character in an existing stamp set.

Key Features

• Machine-made steel construction for consistent impression depth and character alignment
• 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) character size suited for fine marking on small or close-tolerance surfaces
• Compact 2.5-inch shank fits standard hand-stamp grip and hammer striking
• Sold individually, allowing single-character replacement without purchasing a full set
• Hardened steel material resists deformation under repeated hammer impact

Compatibility

Designed as an individual replacement or supplemental stamp compatible with standard 1/16-inch character hand stamp sets used in machining, fabrication, and maintenance marking applications.

Installation Notes

Stamp marking is typically performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using a ball-peen or cross-peen hammer on a solid backing surface. Secure the workpiece firmly before striking to prevent movement and ensure a clean impression. When stamping hardened or treated metals, verify that the stamp hardness rating is appropriate for the base material to avoid tip damage. Always wear appropriate eye protection when performing hand stamp operations.
