Product Information
Full details
The Bosch Professional PRO Punching Die (2608001160) is designed for electrical contractors and industrial technicians who require precision when creating holes in switch cabinets and sheet metal. Its primary benefit is a specialized two-edge geometry that splits waste material to prevent jamming, ensuring clean, burr-free results in steel up to 3 mm and stainless steel up to 2.5 mm. While this tool offers exceptional durability and efficiency for heavy-duty metalwork, it is specifically sized for M32 applications and requires a compatible hydraulic knockout tool for operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the punching die, ensure your hydraulic tool is compatible with the M32 mounting interface. Secure the die according to your hydraulic unit's instruction manual, ensuring the cutting edges are properly aligned with the pilot hole drilled into the metal surface.
Maintenance is straightforward: after every use, wipe the cutting edges clean of metal shards and debris. Periodically apply a light coating of machine oil to the threads and cutting surfaces to prevent corrosion and maintain smooth operation. Store the tool in a dry, organized container to avoid damaging the precise cutting geometry.
