Therefore, these custom made marking stamps allow marking of more than one character. During one single stroke, which increases the productivity. Most importantly, custom made steel stamps are often used when company logos or fixed letter/figure combinations must be marked in mass production. Therefore, in contrast to a single steel stamp, whole words or number codes can be marked with a single stroke. In addition, saving time and a better marking quality are two convincing arguments! The possible applications are countless. In short, custom made, engraved steel stamps are used in all parts of the industrial production processes.

Helpful Tips for Marking Parts with Steel Hand Stamps

Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind when using a hand stamp. Firstly, make sure you mark on a solid, stable bench, located over a support or leg. To eliminate any bounce or flexing of the bench surface. Secondly, use a large, flat piece of soft steel as a base. To lay your parts on, while marking with a steel hand stamp. Thirdly, choose the proper marking hammer size. Based on the following criteria: If you’re marking a single 1/4” tall character into tool steel you’ll need approximately 2.1 tons of pressure. Choose a 3/4 to 1-1/4 lb. hammer. (Note – a more experienced operator can usually use a lighter marking hammer.) Moreover, speed and accuracy of the hammer blow when striking the stamp is very important. Therefore, when marking multiple characters using a hand stamp the amount of striking force required is dramatically increased.

But, if you’re marking (4) 1/4″ tall characters at once using a steel hand stamp, the pressure needed will be approximately 12.6 tons. Moreover, this amount of force would require the use of a 3 to 3-1/2 lb. marking hammer. Firstly, place the hand stamp onto the part to be marked. Secondly, rock it back-and-forth to make sure the stamp is laying perfectly flat on the part. Thirdly, when hitting the steel marking punches with a hammer, only strike the stamp once. Hit the stamp and pull the hammer away. In short, if the hammer bounces on the stamp more than one time, you will end up with a double or triple impression.
