What is a punch?

A punch is a tool used in metalworking, woodworking, and precision machinery manufacturing, primarily for making holes by striking. The tip is typically conical or sharp, and it is used to mark or create holes in the surface of metals or wood. Punches are particularly useful for tasks like hole drilling and positioning screw holes, helping improve the accuracy of the work. Since punches are striking tools, they are often used in conjunction with tools like hammers or monkeys. There are various types of punches, such as center punches and pin punches, designed for different purposes. They are especially effective on metals and hard materials.

Application of punch

✅ Hole Drilling in Metal Parts
A punch is used to create holes in the surface of metal, especially for positioning screw holes or guide holes. Its high precision ensures smooth machining.
✅ Pre-drilling in Woodworking
In woodworking, a punch is used to create pilot holes before driving screws or nails. It ensures precise positioning and is especially useful for securing the placement of fasteners.
✅ Positioning in Assembly Work
During assembly, a punch is used to mark the locations of holes on parts, ensuring that components are assembled with high precision.
✅ Positioning on Steel Plates
In steel or iron plates, a punch is used to mark the correct positions before machining or welding, helping to prevent errors during the process.
