C.h. Hanson 20951F Steel Letter F Stamp 3/16 Inch

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 20951F is a machine-made individual steel stamp designed for permanently marking the letter F on metal, plastic, wood, and other hard surfaces. The stamp features a 3/16-inch (4.8 mm) character size and is built from hardened steel for consistent, clean impressions under repeated hammer strikes. At 2.75 inches in length and weighing 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, single-character tool suited for production marking, part identification, and traceability work. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians commonly use this type of stamp in shop and field applications.

This stamp is intended for individual character marking where a full stamp set is not required, or where a replacement for a worn or damaged letter F stamp is needed. It fits standard industrial stamp-holding fixtures and can be used freehand with a ball-peen or machinist hammer. Typical applications include part serialization, tooling identification, inventory marking, and surface coding on raw or finished workpieces across manufacturing and maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

Stamps of this type are installed by hand and driven with a ball-peen or machinist hammer on a solid, stable surface. Secure the workpiece before striking to prevent movement and ensure a clean impression. Always wear appropriate eye protection when using impact stamps. No power tools or special codes apply to hand-stamp use, but facility-specific marking procedures should be followed for traceability compliance.
