Overview
VELSE IST Loose Types are precision-engineered individual interchangeable steel marking characters - designed, developed and manufactured by Max Machine Tools based on years of direct customer feedback from Indian industry. Every dimension, every heat treatment parameter and every finishing process has been refined to address what buyers actually experience in the field - inconsistent impression depth, premature wear, poor rust resistance and inadequate support after purchase. VELSE ISTs are manufactured from D3 tool steel - a high carbon, high chromium cold work tool steel that delivers superior wear resistance, deeper through-hardness and longer service life compared to standard D2 or generic tool steel used by most other manufacturers. D3 steel holds its edge longer under repeated impact - meaning more consistent impressions across a longer working life. Available as individual loose types in any character, any size, any quantity - buy exactly what you need. Suitable for marking on steels, castings, forgings, aluminium, brass, plastics and paper. Available in Standard, Dotted (Low Stress), Reverse and Spacer variants across sizes 1mm to 16mm and select inch sizes. As the manufacturer, Max Machine Tools provides direct after-sales support - genuine spares, faster response and closer technical assistance than any dealer-supplied product can offer.
