Ripping Punches

Over the years, we have had customers that want to punch an oblong hole that is longer than what their machine allows them to punch. Cleveland Punch & Die has a solution!!! We would like to introduce you to our “Ripping Punch!” A “Ripping Punch” allows you to generate an oblong hole beyond the capacity of your ironworker. First, punch a round hole the same size as the width of your oblong hole. Next, insert the guide of the ripping punch through the pre-punched hole and begin cycling the machine while feeding the material into the guide. The guide should be 1/8” to ¼” longer than the material thickness. The material thickness should not exceed 3/8” A-36 mild steel.


For more information on the “Ripping Punch”, please contact one of our experienced “Green Team” members at (888)451-4342 from 7am-6pm Monday through Friday.
