Ripping Punch

The requirement to punch oblong/slotted holes beyond the capacity of an ironworker is a common occurrence and we have a solution!

Ripping punches allow an ironworker to punch holes of any length with a continued cycle. First, punch a round hole in the same size as the width of your desired 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. Continue this process until you achieve the length of oblong/slot desired.
When ordering please provide the following information: figure number of punch and die, material thickness and dimensions indicated in the diagram below.


**SAFETY WARNING** Do not punch with the guide!

Example:


  • Machine: Peddinghaus 1100G
  • Punch: F-20
  • Die: F-59
  • ‘A’ Dimension: 13/16”
  • ‘L’ Dimension: 1-1/4”
  • Material Thickness: 3/8” Mild Steel
