Components

• Jig with rotating spindle

• Alignment table with two square holes and indents

• 1" fender washer

• M6 screw with captured lock washer

• 1mm letter size, 1/4" square metal punches (letters and numbers)

• Bitchin’ brass hammer

Setup

Place a washer into the spindle's center depression.

• Tighten the gold screw firmly to compress the lock washer.

• Insert the alignment table into the jig's corner holes.

• Insert a metal punch into a square hole.

  • Use the hole with the "inner" indent (closer to its guide) for inner alignment or the "outer" indent (farther from its guide) for outer alignment.

  • Ensure the letter on the punch faces you for correct orientation.

  • The numbers “6” and “9” are the same, simply turn “6” to face away from you for “9”.

Stamping

• Optional: Align the spindle's graded dial to the small set screw on the jig as a reference point for consistency.

• Position the punch in the chosen hole.

• Use light, firm taps to stamp the letters.

  • Please avoid very hard strikes, as they may damage the unit.

• Remove the punch, click the spindle to the next position, insert the next punch with the letter facing you, and repeat.

  • The spindle allows up to 60 characters total per line (120 characters per side).

• If you need more space, you can flip the washer over to stamp an additional 120 characters.

Tips

• Use light, firm taps for best results, it’s not like driving a nail!

• Remember to advance the dial between stamps.

• Mark letters off on your paper copy as you go.

• Be sure to note your starting point on the dial.

Safety

• Be sure to verify all words are correct.

  • Test that you can open the wallet before you destroy your paper copy!

• Store the back up somewhere safe.

  • Don’t forget where that is!

• Test wallet restores regularly.
