A method for adjusting a stamp relative to a matrix on sinter-pressing, characterized by the following method steps: the stamp and the matrix are so moved towards one another that the stamp is located in a position shortly before the immersing into the bore of the matrix; the region of the stamp is illuminated; on the side distant to the stamp there is positioned an optical recorder which acquires the matrix bore; the picture recorded by the recorder is imaged on a monitor; in accordance with the imaging on the monitor the stamp relative to the matrix is so adjusted transversely to its axis that a uniform gap between the stamp and the matrix bore over the circumference is obtained; and subsequently the stamp is finally fixed in its receiver.
