DESCRIPTION
The Rotur Hand Dog Punch is an outstanding tool that allows you to position your work precisely. It safeguards your drive centers from getting damaged by a hammer or mallet. A drive centre's precise morse taper can be easily ruined when struck with a hammer, which might lead to it not staying centered in the lathe's taper socket. The prong and point layout of this dog punch is the same as the well - known Rotur 1/4 prong drive centres. You can punch the head pattern onto your workpiece by hitting the end of the dog punch with a hammer, and then the drive centre will self - locate in the indentations left. These Rotur drive centres are crafted from high - quality EN8M Steel. The one - piece design guarantees that the integral points won't come loose. They are manufactured in the UK by Planet Plus Ltd. SKU: 014H
Using the Rotur Hand Dog Punch is easy. First, place your workpiece where you want to mark it. Then, take the dog punch and position it on the workpiece. Use a hammer to gently hit the end of the dog punch to transfer the head pattern onto the workpiece. After that, the drive centre can self - locate in the indentations. When using this tool, make sure to use a proper hammer and hit gently to avoid over - damaging the workpiece. Don't use excessive force as it might damage the precise morse taper of the drive centre. For maintenance, keep the tool clean and dry. After use, wipe it with a clean cloth. You can also apply a thin layer of oil to prevent rusting. Store it in a dry place away from moisture.
