Aligning Tool Set

For machines that use 28XX™ style tooling

To assure long tool life and good hole quality, punches and dies must be accurately centered to one another. Quick, accurate tooling alignment is easily accomplished with this square punch and die combination.

The aligning die and die adapter are placed in the die shoe and the bolster assembly is loosened. The punch is slowly inched into the die and automatically centers the punch to the die. The bolster assembly is tightened down and the desired tooling may be installed in the press with the complete assurance that it will be accurately positioned.
