YC618 Reversed German Style Number Steel Stamps
Reversed German-style DIN 1451 number stamps with a mirror-cut face; the molded, cast or forged part reads upright and correct. For molds, forging dies and castings.
Suitable materials: For mold, forging-die and casting marks — the mirror-cut numbers read upright on the finished part.
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 (left-right reversed); after striking a mold, the formed, cast or forged part shows correct, legible upright numbers — the first choice for mold-transfer, casting and die-casting marking.
A German (DIN 1451) typeface — narrower and taller than the standard English face, well suited to German-standard parts and export markets.
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 · Multi-Function Storage Box
More than storage — a core accessory that boosts working efficiency and safety:

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.
