Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between a dovetail punch and a hollow punch?

A. Dovetail punches are ideal for fabricating interlocked dovetail joints when the outside diameter of the gasket is larger than the width of the material to be cut. These units feature a padded rubber grip to offer maximum comfort during continuous operation. Hollow punches, on the other hand, are ideal for creating single-diameter holes (bolt holes) and dual-diameter rings (washers) in a single operation. They allow quick & precise hole-punching on flange gaskets.

Q. How do you measure a hole punch?

A. Mark both sides of the second hole's centre by dividing the hole punch's diameter by two. For instance, each end of the second hole is 1/2 inch from the centre for a hole punch having a one-inch diameter.

Q. How deep do hole punches go?

A. 0.5 inches.
