FAQ

Q1: What is the main purpose of a center punch?

A1: It is mainly used to create positioning indentations on metal or other materials, preventing drill bits from slipping or wandering during drilling. It can also be used for marking and layout.

Q2: What does 52–56 HRC hardness mean?

A2: This hardness range offers an excellent balance of wear resistance and toughness, allowing the punch to mark effectively without breaking or chipping under impact.

Q3: Will the gold coating peel off?

A3: The coating is cured for strong adhesion and resists peeling under normal use. Wear on the tip from prolonged use is normal and does not affect overall performance.

Q4: How to use a center punch properly?

A4: Position the tip vertically on the marking point and strike the end of the punch with a hammer using moderate force. Ensure the workpiece is firmly secured and avoid tilting the punch to prevent off-center marks.

Q5: Do you support customization?

A5: Yes, OEM/ODM customization is available, including size, length, shank diameter, surface color, logo printing, and packaging. Please contact us for details.
