These Automatic Center Punches with three (3) total punches and tips, provide the user with additional efficiency and precision in their metalworking and/or woodworking projects. These punches are used to prevent drill bits from walking or the skipping off the surface of a material. Each punch creates a precise center hole in the material. A perfect centering hole results in professional quality finish. Unlike traditional hand-held center punches that require the use of a hammer, these spring-loaded tools are designed for single-hand use. Single-hand operation makes them ideal for those using the punches while holding onto another object. Additionally, the spring loaded center punch has many applications for those who operate in confined spaces such as those found in RVs, boats, etc.
The design of these Automatic Center Punches is a great example of how an engineer can design something very complex into a simple product. The springs inside each of the center punches are heavy duty and extremely powerful. They are so strong they compress to the point of releasing a high impact blow once enough pressure is placed on the upper portion of the center punch. At the same time and the engineers were able to create an easy way to adjust the amount of force released by adjusting a tension screw located at the top of each unit. This adjustment feature is the useful since users need to apply different amounts of pressure depending on the type of material being punched. For instance and a user needs to apply less pressure to soft woods to avoid cracking the wood. On the other hand, some users may want to apply more pressure to produce a larger hole. As mentioned above and the ability to adjust the amount of pressure produced by these units is important due to the fact that they can be used on all types of materials including hardwoods, softwoods, metals and others.
Another benefit of these units is durability. Like all other punches, the tip of an automatic center punch is subjected to repeated high impact stresses that wear down even the hardest steel. However, the use of a 3 pack allows a user to always have a new tip available regardless of how much he uses his units. This means that his productivity will not be affected by having a worn down tip.
As stated earlier, a major advantage of this 3 pack Automatic Center Punch Set is versatility. While the primary purpose of these units is to assist in producing accurate holes for drilling purposes; there are many other ways that these units can be used. For example, an inpidual using one of these units to produce holes could quickly switch gears and use it as an emergency escape tool if needed. If stored properly in a vehicle glove compartment; the concentrated energy delivered by the tip is enough to break tempered glass allowing for safe escape. Artisans and engravers use the similar punching tools to create stippled textures on metal sheets.
Overall, whether you are a skilled machinist who are requires consistent tolerance levels or a DIY person doing renovations around the house and this Automatic Center Punch Set offers both speed and accuracy unavailable with manual punching tools.
