Maintenance Tips Remove Debris After Use: Clean metal chips and shavings from the punch and die table area after every session to prevent buildup and ensure smooth oversize punching. Oil Contact Surfaces: Lightly lubricate the punch stem, guides, and die contact areas to reduce friction and extend tooling life. Check for Wear: Inspect punches, dies, and holders for dull edges, chips, or deformation; replace worn parts promptly for clean, accurate holes. Verify Alignment: After installation or tooling changes, ensure the punch aligns squarely with the die to minimize uneven wear and stress. Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check and secure mounting bolts and hardware to maintain stability during heavy punching. Prevent Corrosion: Store in a dry area and apply rust inhibitor on exposed steel surfaces when the assembly is not in use.
