Corner Radius Tooling

Cleveland Punch and Die’s corner radius tooling is perfect for punching a radius on the corner of square or rectangle material. We stock 3/8, 7/16, ½, 9/16 and ¾” corner radius punch and die sets and special sizes can be manufactured upon request.

Corner radius tooling is easy to use.  First, place the punch and die in your ironworker as you would a standard shape. After the punch and die are in the machine, jog the punch down so the guide is slightly above the die. At this point, make sure the punch and die are aligned properly. Once they are aligned, tighten the coupling nut, die block and the setscrew on the die. During the corner radius punching process, the guide of the punch will stay in the die at all times. This will reduce run time and ensure accuracy on each radius. The stroke of the punch can be controlled by the limit switch on your ironworker.

Remember, Cleveland Punch always recommends using PunchEasy lubricant to reduce galling and increase life of each punch and die.
