C.h. Hanson 20851B Steel Letter B Stamp 1/8 Inch

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 20851B is a machine-made individual steel letter stamp designed for permanent character marking on metal, wood, and other hard surfaces. It strikes a clean letter B impression at 1/8 inch character size, making it well-suited for part identification, tool marking, and traceability work. Constructed from hardened steel, this stamp is built to withstand repeated hammer strikes without deforming the die face. It is a single-character stamp intended for use with a standard punch set or as a standalone replacement stamp when one character is worn or lost.

This stamp is used across fabrication shops, machine shops, maintenance departments, and field service environments where permanent part or asset marking is required. The 1/8 inch character size suits applications where space is limited or fine detail marking is needed. Machinists, millwrights, pipe fitters, and general maintenance technicians commonly use individual steel stamps like this for compliance marking, serialization, and custom identification work on metal components and assemblies.

Key Features

• Letter B character, 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) character size
• Machine-made steel construction for consistent impression depth and die longevity
• Individual stamp format — replace a single lost or worn character without buying a full set
• Compatible with standard hand-stamp technique using a ball-peen or machinist hammer
• Compact form factor suitable for tight marking areas

Compatibility

Designed as an individual replacement steel letter stamp compatible with standard hand-stamp marking applications. Works alongside other C.H. HANSON individual character stamps of matching 1/8 inch character size.

Installation Notes

Steel stamps are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a firm, single-strike technique with an appropriate hammer weight to achieve a clean, uniform impression. Secure the workpiece before striking to prevent movement and ensure legible character transfer. Wear appropriate eye protection when using hand stamps. Do not strike the stamp at an angle, as this can result in a partial or distorted impression and may damage the die face.
