Centre Punches are marking tools used to create small, precise indentations in metal, wood, or plastic surfaces. These indentations act as a guide for drill bits, preventing them from wandering and ensuring accurate hole placement.
Key Characteristics:
-
Accuracy: Provides a clear starting point for drilling, improving precision and reducing errors.
-
Durable Construction: Made from hardened steel to withstand repeated striking with a hammer.
-
Variety: Available in standard centre punches, automatic centre punches, and heavy-duty designs for different applications.
-
Ease of Use: Simple design makes them effective and reliable in workshop and site environments.
-
Versatility: Suitable for metalworking, woodworking, automotive, and general workshop use.
Common Uses:
-
Drilling Preparation: Marking a starting point to guide drill bits accurately.
-
Metalworking: Creating permanent reference points on steel, aluminium, or other metals.
-
Woodworking: Indicating exact drilling spots on timber for screws or dowels.
-
Workshop Layout: Assisting in marking lines, hole centres, or reference points on various materials.
