Maintenance Tips
-
Clean After Each Use: Wipe punches and dies to remove metal shavings and debris — this prevents wear and ensures cleaner holes.
-
Lubricate Surfaces: Apply a light machine oil to punches and dies before storage to reduce friction and prevent rust.
-
Inspect for Wear: Check for dull edges, chips, or deformation; replace or re‑sharpen worn punches/dies to maintain precision.
-
Sharpen When Needed: Touch up cutting edges periodically to preserve clean punching performance and reduce press load.
-
Store Properly in Case: Return each punch and die to its slot in the storage case after use to protect against damage and contamination.
-
Match Clearances: When using, ensure the punch diameter meets or exceeds the material thickness and has proper die clearance for clean shearing.
