Product Spotlight: The Model 40B – The Gold Standard for Precision Tag & Key Marking

For locksmiths stamping key sets, veterinarians engraving pet ID tags, or manufacturers marking industrial nameplates, the Numberall Model 40B Numbering & Lettering Press stands as the trusted mechanical solution. Built to handle aluminum, brass, and mild steel, this benchtop press delivers professional, deep indents that withstand decades of wear—far superior to hand-stamping’s inconsistency.

Portability Meets Industrial-Grade Power

At just 47 lbs with a compact footprint, the Model 40B is portable enough for bench use, mobile service trucks, or moving between workstations. Its heavy-duty cast iron “C” frame and machined components provide the force and stability for repeatable, precise results.

4. Automatic Spacing — The carriage table advances automatically after each impression, delivering perfectly straight lines.
