Description

Using a center punch to mark a hole:

Place the tip where you want the mark, then tap the top with a brass hammer or utility hammer. This leaves a visible dimple. (Don't use texturing hammers to hit metal tools.)

Why use a center punch?

If drilling, the dimple prevents your drill tip from dancing across the piece of metal. If using a hole punch, the dimple simply allows you to see a nice precise spot for the center of the hole. The 1/4" center punch can also be used for tube riveting. See Cold Connection Techniques: Riveting with Metal Tubing or Wire

Instructions:Put a dot where you want the hole. (Sharpie and other permanent markers work great.)Slide piece, dot side down, into the appropriate end of the tool.Look in hole on bottom of tool to center your dot.Turn screw clockwise, while holding your piece firmly to prevent scratches.When a tiny circle falls out of the bottom, you've punched your hole.Release by unscrewing until your punched piece falls off on its own - do not pull your punched piece off!Important: Step #6 helps prevent breakage. If you pull the punched piece off, you are likely to bend the post. Even a slight bend weakens it for future punches, and you could end up breaking it on something unexpected.Replacement parts are available: #69-235-RS.The set of replacement punches is delightfully inexpensive... If you are likely to punch things outside the recommended list, or you sometimes pull the punched piece off before it falls off on its own, we recommend you purchase replacement pieces in advance. Although this tool is not rated for items thicker than 24-gauge, we regularly use it on 20-gauge soft metals, and regularly punch pennies and quarters, too, but have only broken the replacement punches on found objects of unknown composition (probably steel). It's not guaranteed for these heavier materials, but it works great! See Related Products links (below) for similar items and additional jewelry-making supplies that are often used with this item.

For stamps that aren't pre-labeled (or the label wears off with use), place a dot with Wite-Out® or colorful fingernail polish to indicate the bottom of each letter (or symbol) to help keep your letters directionally correct when stamping. For the stamps that are pre-marked with the letter or symbol, marking should generally face toward the user when stamping. If you have a set that's different, you may want to put a dot facing you, to keep all your stamps consistent. For more information on metal stamping take a look at our Metal Stamping 101 page or our free downloadable metal stamping PDF.

To "draw down" wire (make it thinner and more springy), slightly file one end of the wire and insert it into the draw plate. Grab it with pliers and pull through. It works well to put the draw plate into a vise or clamp at one end of a room so you can pull long pieces of wire through the draw plate. You can also have a partner simply hold the draw plate while you pull the wire through -- especially when using popular gauges around 20 gauge and thinner.See Related Products links (below) for similar items and additional jewelry-making supplies that are often used with this item.
