Guides

Each guide assembly accepts a wide range of punch sizes for its designated Finn-Power tool holder — no need to dedicate an assembly to each punch.

  • Punches are removed or replaced in seconds
    • Drop-in style is held in place by a lock ring on the punch
    • Quick-set style by a single bolt and lock ring.
  • The Quick-set style guide assembly is designed for larger punch shanks and hole sizes found in stations D, E, F and G.
  • Sturdy strippers provide excellent load bearing capacity, clamp material securely and guide punches at the cutting edge for clean-cut holes and flatter piece parts.
  • Strippers and punches are locked and keyed together for precise angular and concentric alignment.
  • Compact tool size minimizes leverage created by lateral forces which extends punch life and produces clean-cut holes.

Punches

  • Premium high speed tool steel – specially formulated high speed steel and heat treatment processes result in high tool performance, superior dimensional accuracy and maximum tool life.
  • Back taper – standards and special shapes prevents galling, reduces stripping pressure and heat build up, increasing tool life.
  • Over 0.250(6.40) grind life – Up to 50 regrinds at 0.005(0.13) per regrind for optimum hole quality and long tool life (Note: Grind life is a function of material thickness, die penetration and tool length adjustment. Actual grind life may vary.)

Strippers

  • Precision hardened and ground material – resists abrasive action of punching, extends tool life, prevents pickup of slivers that may cause sheet marking.
  • Punch point guiding – allowing no lateral movement of the punch point assures the most accurate and best quality piece parts, prevents scrap from rising into the assembly.
  • Radiused face – reduces sheet marking, improves piece part quality.

Dies

  • Highly wear resistant, chrome air hardened tool steel to balance hardness and toughness.
  • Slug Free® die geometry eliminates slug pulling. Uniform clearance radii in die corners to eliminate pip marks.
  • Precision orientation for superior piece part quality.
  • Up to 0.118(3.00) grind life. Superior roundness and flatness with exceptional die strength.
