Roll Marking Presses: Ideal for Cylindrical Part Identification
For light-duty marking of round or cylindrical parts requiring a consistent depth of impression, Numberall’s roll marking presses are the optimal choice. Our Model 301 Hand-Operated and Model 301A Air-Operated machines are engineered for efficiency and economy in industrial applications.
Key Capabilities
- Consistent Impression Depth: Designed to produce an even mark across the curved surface of a part.
- Material Versatility: Capable of stamping characters up to 1/4″ in aluminum and 5/32″ characters in mild steel.
User-Friendly Operation
- Model 301 (Hand-Operated): Simply place the round part in the adjustable holding fixture and manually pull the operating handle to engage the marking device.
- Model 301A (Air-Operated): Actuate the air valve to extend the marking device, making an even indent on the round object with minimal operator effort.
- Adaptability for Larger Parts: We offer two oversize endplates to facilitate roll marking on larger diameter components.
Typical Applications:
- Automotive Industry: Marking shafts, pistons, bearings, and small cylindrical engine components.
- Plumbing & HVAC: Identifying pipes, fittings, and valves with part numbers or manufacturer information.
- Tool Manufacturing: Engraving hand tools, drill bits, and cutting tools.
- Fastener Industry: Marking bolts, nuts, and specialized fasteners.
- Medical Devices: Marking small cylindrical instruments or components where clear identification is crucial.

Bench Top Presses: Versatile Solutions for Flat Part Marking
Numberall’s bench top presses are engineered for precision and speed in marking nameplates, tags, and other flat objects, all without consuming valuable floor space. Constructed with robust cast iron “C” frames, these presses ensure distortion-free stamping and evenly distribute marking force across the marking device for minimal stress on the material.
Key Capabilities
- Space-Saving Design: Compact footprint ideal for workshops and production lines with limited space.
- Durable Construction: Cast iron “C” frames prevent distortion and ensure long-term reliability.
- Even Marking Force: Guarantees uniform, high-quality impressions across the entire marking area.
- Operational Flexibility: Available in:
- Hand-Operated: Model 136 & Model 131 For manual control and lower volume applications.
- Air-Operated: Model 136A and our Model 131A Offer low maintenance with very few moving parts, ideal for consistent, repetitive marking.
- Motorized: Model 137 & Model 133 Reduce operator fatigue, enhances production speed, and ensures consistent force for high-volume tasks.
Typical Applications:
- Industrial Nameplates: Marking machinery, equipment, and asset tags with serial numbers, model numbers, and safety information.
- Electrical Components: Identifying circuit boards, control panels, and electrical enclosures.
- Aerospace & Defense: Marking component tags for traceability and compliance.
- Tool & Die Shops: Marking dies, jigs, and fixtures.
- Personalized Products: Creating custom dog tags, jewelry, and commemorative plaques.
- Small Batch Production: Ideal for short runs where a dedicated, high-speed machine might be overkill.

Can round steel gun barrels be stamped with this machine?
Hi John,
The Model 301/301A will mark around the diameter. Typically barrels are marked length wise with the axis.
These machines are not set up to mark length wise.
