Columbia Marking Tools Roll Type Holders
Many standard designs of roll type holders for different applications.


The proprietary design by Columbia Marking Tools has a heavy duty build for high force applications along with easy to use features. The step in the cover plate retains the type in the holder while a take-up plate, provided with each holder, holds the type in perfect alignment.
The hub extends 1/16” past the cover plate allowing the plate to be released while the holder remains firmly locked in the carriage. A truly time-saving feature.
The roll type holder in combination with the dovetail roll carriage minimizes changeover times and reduces tooling costs
