YC601 Letter Steel Stamps
Designed for industrial marking, die stamping and metalworking, delivering clear, right-reading letter impressions.
Suitable materials: Ideal for marking hard surfaces, including un-heat-treated metals, stainless steel, industrial parts and molds.
Core Features
Made of CR-V (6150) chrome-vanadium steel.
The character head reaches HRC 58–62 for lasting, clear marks; the striking end is tempered to HRC 38–46 to absorb impact and prevent cracking.
A double-bevel design makes visual alignment and precise striking easy.
Font and size are marked on the side of the stamp for fast identification during work.
The surface is sandblasted for a better anti-slip grip and greater durability.
Exclusive Patent · 3-Hole Stamping Guide Box
A patented locating jig that makes every strike straight, consistent and safe:
Invention patents in Taiwan, the USA, France and Vietnam; utility-model patents in Germany and China — an original design.
Strike with the stamp held in the box — your hands stay clear of the hammer for a safer, steadier hit.
The box keeps the tool perfectly flush with the workpiece — a straight strike and consistent depth, every time.
A built-in viewing window makes positioning easy and keeps impressions from skewing.
Rotate the box freely to suit the way you work.
Patented PP guide case — the three-hole lid holds each stamp upright and square to the workpiece while you strike.
