    The document describes centre punches and dot punches, which are used to mark the center point for drilling holes. A centre punch is made of hardened steel and produces a larger indentation, while a dot punch is lighter and produces a smaller dot. Both are used by tapping them with a hammer to indent the material and mark the center point for drilling.

    THE CENTRE

    AND
    DOT PUNCH
    Centre Punch
    • The centre punch is made form mild steel
    with the point hardened and tempered so
    that it withstands impact with the material it
    is marking.
    • It is normally used to mark the centre of a
    hole to be drilled either by hand or on the
    drilling machine.
    Dot Punch

    • The dot punch is a lighter and thinner


    version of the centre punch and is
    used basically for the same job.
    However, it is more accurate as the
    dot produced is smaller.
    Centre and Dot Punch
    Using the Punch
    • Both the centre and dot
    punches are used in the
    same way. A ball pein
    hammer is used to tap
    the head of the punch
    and this delivers enough
    force to the point of the
    punch to put a small
    indentation into the
    surface of the material.
