    I forgot to mention that my label maker can be connected to the computer and print about anything you can do on the computer including grapics although at 24mm wide, not very big.

    I think (I would need to check) that the smallest metal stamps I have are 2.5mm high if that is any use to you to borrow. Other than that 3mm/ 1/8" seems to be the next available size.

    Thanks for the offer Michael. I will likely just purchase a smaller set and fashion up something to hold the stamps in place as I punch them. I am a bit shocked that these fractional sets do not really exist outside a few cottage vendors. I would have thought Americans would have needed these?

    If it were me I would mark them decimaly, not in fractions. If I'm working in imp I work in thou not fractions.
    The other thing is, they are er collets aren't they? Why do you need imp ones at all if you have a full set of metric ones?

    Coming from a guy with three lathes?(well last I heard he only had three, but who knows )

    At least two sets of metric by the look of it.

    I don't *need* imperial, but I have a single set. Given they had been kicking around for a while I figured it was time I got the appropriate punch set and put them in their place. I had no idea these punches would be unobtainable in fractions. I was merely looking to mark the holder with the fractions as they are on the collets. That way, when I on odd occasion pull out a 3/16 end mill, I just grab the collet without fumbling around or doing mental gymnastics.

    Have you ruled out going to a trophy shop to see if they can engrave them? A decent laser should be able to do a nice job of marking the tray. Likely not cheap but certainly less than stamps.

    Nobody has mentioned CNC yet. This is one of the uses I would consider using a CNC machine for.

    Bit old fashioned in this modern age but a texta might work.
