Maintenance Tips

• Keep Punches & Dies Clean – Remove metal chips and slug buildup after each use to prevent misalignment and surface damage.
• Apply Light Lubrication – Use cutting oil on punches and dies to reduce friction, heat, and premature wear during operation.
• Inspect for Wear & Cracks – Regularly check edges for dulling or chipping to maintain accurate hole sizes and clean finishes.
• Match Punch Size to Material Thickness – Always ensure punch diameter meets or exceeds material thickness to avoid tool damage.
• Maintain Proper Clearance – Verify correct die clearance (typically 1/32") to ensure smooth punching and reduce stress on tooling.
• Store in Protective Case – Keep all 8 punch & die sets organized in the storage box to prevent corrosion and loss.
• Secure Setup & Alignment – Ensure compatibility and proper mounting on pedestal die tables for consistent, repeatable results.
• Avoid Overloading Capacity – Follow tonnage guidelines and avoid exceeding material limits to prevent deformation or breakage.
