Stamp Aligner™XL
No. SA-7XL
HPC’s Stamp Aligner™XL solves the problems that locksmiths
have while stamping keys and cylinders. It has one 1/4"
(6.35mm) hole to hold standard 3⁄32" (2.5mm) and 1⁄8" (3.0mm)
number and letter die stamps. Characters can be stamped on
keys and cylinders in an exact straight line with exact spacing
between figures. When the die stamps are all struck with the
same force, the end product looks like it was factory stamped.
HPC’s new Stamp Aligner™XL holds 2 keys or cylinders, and
makes stamping safer and easier. Plus, it can use the die
stamps that many locksmiths already have.
1. Depress the index block release pin and move the index
block to the load/unload position. Loosen the clamp plate
knob by turning it counterclockwise. See Fig. 1.
2. Position your key under the clamp plate and secure it by
tightening the knob clockwise. See Fig. 2.
3. Adjust the index block to desired row for stamping and
secure it with the locking knob. See Fig. 3.
