C.h. Hanson 211517 Steel Number 7 Stamp 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 211517 is a machine-made individual steel stamp designed to mark the number 7 on metal, wood, plastic, and other workable surfaces. The stamp produces a 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) character impression and is built from hardened steel for consistent, repeatable marking under shop conditions. At 0.26 pounds and measuring 3.13 inches in length with a 0.56-inch square face, it is sized for single-hand use with a hammer or mallet. Machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die workers rely on individual stamps like this for part serialization, date coding, and identification marking.

This stamp is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, maintenance departments, and field service environments where permanent part marking is required. It is sold as a single stamp, making it practical as a replacement for a worn or missing number 7 in an existing stamp set, or as a standalone unit for applications where only one character is needed. The compact size allows use in confined stamping areas where a full set holder would not fit.

Installation Notes

Steel stamps are used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians — no licensing is required, but proper PPE including safety glasses is recommended during impact marking. Secure the workpiece firmly before striking to prevent movement and ensure a clean impression. Strike the stamp squarely with a hammer or mallet; angled blows can produce partial characters or damage the stamp face. Inspect the stamp tip before use and replace if the character shows signs of mushrooming or deformation.
