C.h. Hanson 26185 Low Stress Stamp Set 1/8 Inch 36 Piece

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 26185 is a 36-piece low stress round face full stamp set designed for marking metal, plastic, and other hard surfaces without inducing the microfractures associated with standard stamp designs. The set covers the full character range — alphabets, numbers, and symbols — in a 1/8-inch character size. Each stamp measures 2-3/4 inches in length with a 3/8-inch shank, making them compatible with standard hammer-driven stamping work. The low stress round face geometry distributes impact force more evenly across the character face, reducing subsurface stress in the workpiece material. Fabricators, machinists, pipefitters, and tool-and-die tradespeople keep sets like this on hand for part identification, serialization, and code marking.

This stamp set is suited for shop floor and field applications where permanent, legible character marking is required on metal components, pipe, structural steel, or machined parts. The 1/8-inch character size is a commonly specified dimension for part serialization and traceability marking on smaller workpieces. The complete 36-piece assortment — including alphabets, numbers, and symbols — eliminates the need for multiple sets to cover a full marking job. Stamps store in the included plastic container, keeping the set organized and protecting character faces between uses.

Key Features

• Low stress round face design reduces microfracture risk in stamped workpieces
• 36-piece set covers alphabets, numbers, and symbols in one kit

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard hammer-driven metal stamping applications requiring a 3/8-inch shank diameter. Suitable for marking steel, aluminum, brass, and similar hard materials where a 1/8-inch character size meets the marking specification.

Installation Notes

Stamp sets of this type are used by machinists, fabricators, and tradespeople working on metal marking and part identification tasks. Secure the workpiece firmly before stamping to ensure clean, consistent character impressions. Use a ball-peen or stamping hammer of appropriate weight for the material hardness. Inspect each stamp face before use to confirm the character is free of debris that could distort the impression.
