Description
A label falls off. Paint wears away. A struck character is still there in twenty years because it is not on the metal, it is in it.
Hardened steel punches, 3 mm characters. Numbers are 0 through 9. Letters are A through Z.
Why 3 mm
Character height is the whole decision with stamps. Too large and the character will not fit on the part; too small and you cannot read it without the loupe you were trying to avoid. On small work - a tool, a fixture, a part you will need to identify in a drawer in a year - 3 mm reads at arm's length and still fits across a face 10 mm wide.
How to strike one
Back the work with something solid. A part supported only at the edges will dish under the blow and you get a bent part with a shallow character in it.
One firm hit, not three taps. Three taps move the punch slightly between each one and you get a doubled, fuzzy character. Set the punch, hold it square, hit it once.
Work right to left if you are stamping a word, or mark your spacing first. Everyone crowds the last letter the first time.
Good to know
They mark steel, brass, aluminum, copper and plastic - not hardened steel. Stamping displaces metal, so on stock under about 1 mm thick the character shows on the back face too.
Numbers (0-9) and letters (A-Z) are separate sets; buying both is two purchases.

Shipping and returns
Free tracked shipping on every order to the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, with no minimum. A few items ship to a shorter list of countries, and their page says so.
Orders leave within 2 business days. The delivery time for your country is shown under the price of each item. In the United States the Mini Drill Press, the lathes, the XYZ and XYZR micrometer stages and many of the tools ship from US warehouses and arrive in about a week or less. Items shipped from overseas take one to two weeks, a few larger ones two to four. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel is scanned.
30-day returns from the day it arrives, unused and in its packaging. If it arrived damaged or faulty, we pay the return label. If you simply changed your mind, you pay the return postage and get the full price of the item back. Email support@arvonelle.com before sending anything back.
Before you order
Do I pay tax or duty? In the United States, sales tax is added at checkout where your state charges it, and the total you see is what you pay. For Australia and New Zealand nothing is added at checkout. If a carrier ever asks you for a fee on one of our parcels, don't pay it: email us first and we sort it out.
What if a part breaks? For twelve months, tell us which part and we post a new one free. No return needed.
Can I cancel? Yes, within 24 hours of ordering, no questions asked.
