number punch set

Post by Db n j »

Hi, I need to make a number tag for our car - its a brass strip with 1/2 inch high numbers.

Does anyone have a set that can make raised numbers ? (all the ones I have found so far on e-bay etc make a depression)

Any help /ideas welcome.

Probably a stupid idea, but can you punch the plate from the back to make the digits proud front facing ??

Regards.

You can get reverse image number and letter punches but I've not seen them as big as 1/2".

Thanks,

Chris, the first picture from your link to eBay shows 1/2inch 12mm, though not listed on sale. I'll send a message.
