all metal body, the embossing disk is plastic but stout. fully adjustable in depth and pressure of the emboss-

it is as annoying to use as any rotary dial embosser BUT it comes with the satisfaction that it is the last time i will have to make any given tag LOL

I am particularly pleased bc i found this used on ebay for $65 which is a steal...lubed and tuned it in 5 minutes and i have been cataloging my orchids (i have been working on a spreadsheet) and giving them each a unique number to add to the tag...that lets me keep my notes on the spreadsheet and the tags as short as possible
this is orchid 6

as a bonus, they allow me to cheat and reduce the size of the "too big" SH container holes
