Punching holes in angle can be quite challenging if the die block
on your machine is nonadjustable. Luckily for you, we have the solution!

Offset punches with matching offset dies solve this problem and
allow you to punch closer to the inside leg of angle iron. The punch is machined
offset based on the body diameter of the punch and size of the hole. For
example, if you're using a F-16 punch (1-1/16 body) and punching a 1/2" offset
hole, the offset will be .281". (See drawing). The die will be
offset .281" as well to match the punch. The tooling is inserted in the
machine the same as a standard punch and die.
