Center punch c.k tools T3326 — 12 mm tip diameter, manual metal marking tool

Center punch c.k tools T3326 — 12 mm tip diameter is a manual metal marking tool designed to create precise indentations in metal, wood, and plastic before drilling. The tool provides a defined starting point for drill bits, reducing walking and improving hole placement accuracy. Its 12 mm tip diameter gives a stable contact area for controlled marking in workshop, fabrication, and maintenance environments.

Advantages

The center punch offers consistent, repeatable marking with a durable tip suited to repeated impact. Its manual operation requires no power source and allows immediate use on a variety of materials. The robust construction supports accurate alignment of drill bits and helps extend drill bit life by preventing slippage at the start of drilling.

Key specifications

How to use

Position the tip of the center punch at the intended drilling point and hold the tool perpendicular to the work surface. Apply controlled force with a hammer to produce a clear indentation; the number and strength of strikes depend on material thickness and hardness. After marking, verify the indentation and proceed with pilot drilling, ensuring the drill bit seats in the punch mark.

Recommendations

Use safety glasses when striking the punch to protect against metal or material fragments. For hardened or thick materials, use progressively stronger strikes and consider a center drill for deep pilot holes. Keep the tip clean and inspect it periodically for wear; replace the tool if the tip becomes excessively rounded to maintain marking accuracy.
