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

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 20851N is a machine-made individual steel stamp used to mark the letter N onto metal, plastic, wood, and other hard surfaces. Designed for bench work, die stamping, and production marking, this stamp delivers a clean, consistent impression when struck with a hammer or mallet. The character size is 1/8 inch (3.2 mm), making it suited for applications that require compact, precise lettering. At 0.06 pounds, the stamp is lightweight and easy to handle during repetitive marking tasks. It is sold individually, allowing technicians and tradespeople to replace or supplement existing stamp sets one character at a time.

This stamp is used across industrial, maintenance, and fabrication environments where permanent part identification or traceability marking is required. Common applications include stamping serial numbers, part codes, or identification marks on metal components, pipe fittings, tooling, and equipment housings. It is also used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shops for labeling fabricated parts or custom assemblies. The individual format is practical when only a single character needs replacement rather than an entire set.

Installation Notes

Steel stamps are driven by hand using a ball-peen or machinist hammer on a solid, stable work surface. Secure the workpiece before stamping to prevent movement and ensure a clean impression. Eye protection should be worn during use to guard against metal fragments. Do not use a stamp on surfaces harder than the stamp steel, as this may damage the character face.
