YC605 Reversed Letter Steel Stamps
YC605 reverse stamps have a mirror-cut (left-right reversed) face: struck into a mold, they leave a reversed impression, so the finished part — molded, cast or die-cast — shows upright, correctly legible characters.
Suitable materials: For mold, forging-die and casting identification marks.
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.
The face is cut in mirror image, so the molded, cast or forged part shows upright, legible characters — purpose-built for mold-transfer marking.
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.
