Hand
Indenting Tools
The simplest form of indenting, characters are formed
by the impact force of a hammer striking an engraved steel die. Single or
multiple characters can be formed using a hand stamp. For changing text
multiple characters can be indented with one strike using a holder with
changeable type.
