Manuals, Parts Lists & More

Ideal Stencil Machine Owners Manuals, Parts Lists and More

If you have other Ideal owners manuals, specs, catalogs and service guides that you would like to share with other users, please us.

We are especially looking for machine manuals from the 1920's, 30's and 40's as well as service manuals - official and unofficial!

Screws, Screws, Screws - Help!!!

A list of the exact screw types would help a lot, as all screws are US standard in inches and it is quite difficult to determine the exact screw type abroad.

So please let us know which screws you have used - preferably with the corresponding part number - and we will compile a list. Thank you!

We thank very much the Elried Markierungssysteme GmbH, Munich, with provided us many information and empheria. Elried has been the general importer of Ideal Stencil Machine Co. products in Europe since the 1950s and is still a reliable partner in the marking business today.
