Precision-ground punches deliver smooth edges with minimal cleanup. Tight tolerances between the punches and the spring-loaded die plate ensure clean cuts and extended tool life. The die plate securely clamps metal, preventing distortion while keeping hands safely away. Easy-to-use opening and closing mechanism allows for quick material adjustments. Cutting Capabilities: Cuts soft materials up to 16 gauge (1.29 mm) when using a mallet. Cuts up to 10 gauge (2.59 mm) when used with a hydraulic press. For optimal performance, use a 1/16" thick, 95-durometer urethane pad (not included) to reduce noise, support cutters, protect surfaces, and ensure crisp cuts. Features & Maintenance: IMPORTANT: Always place a shim of equal thickness opposite the material being cut to keep plates balanced and ensure a perpendicular cut. Tool Protection: Use only brass-head mallets when striking punches to prevent surface damage.
