C.h. Hanson 209013 Steel Stamp 5/32 Inch Character

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 209013 is a heavy duty individual steel stamp designed for permanent character marking on metal, wood, plastic, and other hard materials. This stamp produces a single character impression at 5/32 inch character size, making it well-suited for part marking, serialization, and identification tasks in shop and field environments. Built from steel for durability under repeated hammer strikes, it measures 2.75 inches in length with a 0.38 inch by 0.38 inch cross-section and weighs approximately 0.1 pounds. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians reach for individual stamps like this when custom sequences or replacement of a single character are required.

This stamp is used in manufacturing, fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and anywhere permanent identification marking is required on parts or assemblies. Individual stamps allow users to build custom character sets or replace a single worn or damaged stamp without purchasing a full set. The 5/32 inch character size is appropriate for marking on medium to small surface areas where legibility and compact character footprint are both priorities.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece firmly before stamping to prevent movement during the strike. Use an appropriately weighted ball-peen or cross-peen hammer and strike the stamp squarely on the head to produce a clean, even impression. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when performing any hand stamping operation. Inspect the stamp tip periodically for wear or chipping, and replace individual stamps as needed to maintain impression quality.
