Roll Marking Tooling

Roll marking tooling differs when marking flat versus round parts.

For flat parts, the die or tooling is round and rolls across the stationary part to create the mark.
For round parts, the die or holder remains flat while the round part rotates or rolls during the marking process.

Columbia Marking Tools offer a wide selection of options for all roll marking applications. Confusing?
