Manual Marking Tools, Type & Insert: Type Retainer 542

NMSS Type Retainer 542 is a larger diameter than the 541 allowing it to hold more type characters. It also uses type which are longer and extend further from the retainer.

NMSS Type Retainer 542 also allows quick and easy replacement of damaged parts with identical replacements rather than replacing a solid die.  Ideal for marking parts which are in continuous production, the 542 is available in a range of sizes and with many sizes of type in stock, and specialized type made to order.
