DESCRIPTION
The Planet Transfer Centre Punch is an amazing and highly efficient hand - held tool. It's perfect for accurately marking the centers of existing holes onto a lower workpiece, like when two workpieces are screwed together. Its hardened steel tip makes a small dent at the center of the hole, which is ideal for guiding a drill bit. The punch has a knurled body, offering a comfortable hold and better control during operation. Made in the UK by Planet. Here's how to use it: First, clamp the workpieces in the right position. Then, place the cone of the transfer punch into the hole you want to transfer. Next, push the body down until the punch touches the workpiece. This will keep the punch perpendicular to the workpiece if the surface is flat. Finally, gently tap the punch with a hammer to mark the center on the lower workpiece. Note that if the upper workpiece is too thin for the hole size, the cone won't center correctly as it'll rest on the lower workpiece. For the 20 - 35mm size, it's the TP20.
Hey there! Let's talk about using this Planet Transfer Centre Punch. First, get your workpieces and clamp them together in the position you need. This sets the stage for accurate hole - centering. Then, take the punch and put its cone into the hole you want to transfer. It's like finding the right spot on a target. Now, push the body of the punch down until it touches the workpiece. This makes sure the punch stands straight up, as long as the surface isn't bumpy. After that, grab a hammer and give the punch a light tap. This marks the center of the hole on the lower workpiece. Here's something important to keep in mind: if the upper workpiece is too thin for the size of the hole, the cone won't center properly because it'll rest on the lower piece. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Wipe it down after use to prevent rust. And when you're not using it, store it in a safe place where it won't get damaged. That's all you need to know to use this great tool effectively!
