How to Make Your Indent Marking Equipment Last with Character Cleaning Picks
Preventative Maintenance for Metal Stamping: Save Costs with Cleaning Picks
Numberall’s USA-made character cleaning picks prevent equipment failures, extending tool life—trusted by Ford, GE, and manufacturers since 1930.
Why Clean Your Stamping Equipment?
Material buildup from oils, dust, and grit in factory environments clings to characters like 0, causing hydraulic pressure during stamping that can fracture dies, leading to costly downtime. Numberall, a 4th-generation family business since 1930, designed character cleaning picks to eliminate buildup, extend equipment life, and save costs for manufacturers, veterinarians, and gun makers.

Character Cleaning Picks Helpful Tips
Step 1: Inspect Your Numbering Characters
Regularly inspect your numbering machine characters for accumulated debris such as dust, ink, and grit. This buildup, especially in enclosed characters like ‘0’ and ‘8,’ can lead to poor impressions and machine malfunction. A quick inspection before each use can prevent costly downtime.
Step 2: Carefully Clean Characters
Using the pick, gently remove any accumulated material from the character faces. It is crucial to avoid scratching the characters to maintain the quality of your impressions and extend the life of your equipment. Pay special attention to the inner crevices of closed characters where buildup is most common.
Step 3: Maintain Your Pick
After each use, wipe the pick with a soft cloth to remove any residue. Our picks are designed for minimal wear, requiring no additional maintenance. Keeping the pick clean ensures it remains effective for future use.
Step 4: Proper Storage
Store your character cleaning pick in the provided leather pouch when not in use. The frequency of cleaning depends on your operating environment. By performing regular inspections, you’ll be able to determine the best cleaning schedule to ensure your equipment runs smoothly for years to come.
