Forming tooling
Punches
Formed-nose punches in hex, spline and flat profiles — coated and uncoated.
The punch does the forming work. We cut the nose form by EDM or grinding depending on the geometry, then finish the shank so it seats without play in the holder.
Coated punches are supplied where the customer runs abrasive material or wants longer intervals between changes. Uncoated punches remain the practical choice for many standard duties.
