Overview

Making a mark with Steel Type Sets saves time - in just one stroke, a series of letters and figures can be indented with uniform legibility.

The basis of Lowstress marking type is that the character crown, instead of being sharp faced, is rounded to give a 'softer' impression into the component. This helps to eliminate any stress concentration at the bottom of the indent.

Nickel plated pieces with uniformity of character position and depth from one piece to another allows a quick, straight, consistent quality mark to be made on a range of materials including metal and plastic up to a maximum hardness of 37 Rockwell C

The Hand Holder comes complete with Allen key to secure the Steel Type in place. Simply adjust the grub screw for quick inscription change. Steel Type Holders to work with are available to purchase seperately, check the Holder Compatability & Capacity Chart in Technical Data for options available.

Manufactured under stringent BS EN ISO 9001:2008 quality controls and exacting standards.

Safety note: As with all striking tools, we recommend the use of appropriate safety protection. Safety glasses and gloves should we worn at all times
