FAQs
What is the maximum thickness this tool can punch?
This tool is designed for standard electrical cabinet metal; it is recommended for use on mild steel up to 3mm thick.
Do I need to drill a pilot hole first?
Yes, a pilot hole is required to insert the draw stud through the metal panel before you can begin the punching process.
Can this punch stainless steel?
It is optimized for mild steel and aluminum. While it may punch thin stainless steel, it will significantly reduce the lifespan of the dies.
Is the hydraulic oil included?
The unit is pre-filled for operation; however, keep a small bottle of hydraulic fluid on hand for future maintenance.
How do I release the pressure after a punch?
Turn the release valve knob slowly counter-clockwise to allow the cylinder to retract.
Troubleshooting
Punch is not moving or slow to engage
Check if the pressure release valve is fully closed. If the valve is loose, the hydraulic pressure will not build up.
Uneven or jagged hole edges
Ensure the punch and die are perfectly aligned and the draw stud is tightened completely before beginning the hydraulic stroke.
Oil leaking from the hydraulic head
Inspect the seals for damage and ensure all hydraulic connections are tight. If leaking persists, contact support regarding internal seal integrity.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, ensure you have the correct die size selected for your specific conduit diameter. Screw the draw stud securely into the hydraulic cylinder, slide on the die, and tighten the assembly until it is snug against the metal. Always check that the metal surface is clean of debris before starting the punch. For maintenance, keep the draw studs and die threads lightly lubricated to prevent seizing. Wipe the hydraulic cylinder after each use to remove metal shavings, and store the entire kit in its designated case to prevent oxidation and loss of small components.
