DESCRIPTION
The Planet Transfer Center Punch is an outstanding hand - held tool that simplifies the process of marking hole centers. Ideal for situations where two workpieces are screwed together, it precisely marks the center of existing holes on a lower workpiece. Crafted with a hardened steel point, it creates a small indentation that serves as a perfect guide for drill bits. The knurled body design not only offers a comfortable grip but also enhances control during operation. This top - notch punch is proudly made in the UK by Planet. The size range is from 5 to 20mm (TP05).
Using the Planet Transfer Center Punch is easy. First, clamp the workpieces together in the right position. Then, place the cone of the transfer punch into the hole you want to transfer. Push the body down until the punch touches the workpiece. Make sure the workpiece's face is even for the punch to stand perpendicular. Next, gently tap the punch with a hammer to mark the hole center on the lower workpiece. Remember, if the upper workpiece is too thin for the hole size, the cone won't center correctly as it may rest on the lower workpiece. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry to prevent rust. Store it in a safe place when not in use to avoid damage to the hardened steel point.
