I returned this item. In the set I received, the stamp with the letter "Z" was larger than the letters on the rest of the stamps. The Z appears to be for a different size set. Another problem is; I bought this set because of the box it comes in, but was very disappointed. In the photo, the inside of the box looks very neat and the stamps are all standing straight, in nicely drilled holes (this is not how mine looked). The board with the holes for the stamps is about 1/4 of an inch thick, it is not attached and has too much clearance (about 1/8" or more) all around the edges. It fits very loosely in the box and the holes drilled for storing the stamps are irregular in shape, like they were drilled 2 or 3 times, slightly off each time. There also are no corresponding holes in the bottom of the box, so the stamps don't stand up straight. Since they don't stand up straight, they fall over and can drop into the bottom of the box when moved around. When they arrived, before opening the Amazon package, there was a lot of rattling inside it. After opening the package and taking the plastic wrap off the stamp set, I found all the stamps had fallen into the bottom of the wooden box. If the board with holes was thicker, or another wooden board with holes was glued in the bottom of the box, it could have corrected this problem. The box itself is OK enough, but the inside is lacking. Amazon has other 1.5mm, 36 piece stamp sets for a lot less. For me, this box is not worth the extra money.

As far as the letters being centered, they all seemed to be OK in that respect.

I was so very happy to receive my order sooner than I expected [via Fed Ex]! The metal stamp set arrived in perfect condition and the wooden box was sealed in its own plastic wrap -the same way it is stocked at my local bead stores. My daughter and I checked to make sure the set was complete; it sure was!

I like how Beadsmith marked the stamps so it is easy to tell which way to hold the punch to get the correct imprint. I also went ahead with my Sharpie pens and made my own marks on the tool for organization purposes. I've used these stamps before so I knew what to expect. The letters are TINY, but it's what I need for the first projects that I have lined up. I would recommends one or two sizes larger, 3mm or 4mm, for EASIER READING if that's what you have in mind for your projects.

Metal Stamping is a simple project, but it does take practice for adequate indentation. If you need extra tips, watch online video tutorials or read and follow illustrated online articles to learn metal stamping techniques.

Good luck and HAPPY CREATING! :)

Returned the beadsmith 1/16" metal stamps as soon as I opened them there was no "L" and 2 "O"'s. Also 5 of the letter were off center. Not a good product!

Honest reviews on Beadsmith 36 Piece Letter & Number Punch Set For Stamping Metal

These are pretty readable for their size when stamped. They are, however, very diffcult to line up straight due to the tiny size and the fact that they are sitting smack in the middle of a giant head. These would be better if the shank were smaller, more relative to the letter size. It took me a lot of practice and a lot of test copper to figure out how to stamp these with any semblance of consistency. I recomment sticking with something larger if you are in this price range, or splurge for a mega-expensive set an avoid all the headaches.

I was disappointed . Letters were too small . When stamped the letters were barely visible . I also could have purchased it cheaper at a local store .
