Abstract: A press for drawing associated raw material is disclosed that includes a die apparatus that has a top portion and a bottom portion, the associated raw material being drawn between the top portion and the bottom portion. The press also includes a stamping apparatus located above the die apparatus for stamping the associated raw material into the die apparatus. The stamping apparatus is movable up and down and exerts a downward force on the associated raw material and the die apparatus. The press also includes a coarse adjusting apparatus for making coarse adjustments to the press and a fine adjusting apparatus for making fine adjustments to position of the top portion of the die apparatus relative to the bottom portion of the die apparatus.

Abstract: The marking device for marking indicia onto manufactured parts includes a body portion having a recess. Into the recess and the body portion fits a stamp retainer block which also has a recess. Into the recess on the stamp retainer block fits type members which create the indicia on the manufactured part. Such indicia might be the part number or date of manufacture, or other such information useful in the manufacturing process. A second stamp retainer block may be advantageously utilized, by loading a second set of type members into the second stamp retainer block so that the first stamp retainer block can be quickly removed and the second stamp retainer block quickly inserted into the body portion of the marking device. Such insertion may be done by inserting a rod into a channel and depressing a spring loaded ball.
