Production material: high-speed steel, powder high-speed steel, tungsten steel/carbide punch , etc.

A Pilot Punch is a specialized tool designed for precise hole placement and guiding during the punching, drilling, or forming process. It features a sharp, pointed tip known as the "pilot," which helps position the punch accurately in the desired spot. Pilot Punches are typically used in metalworking, manufacturing, and tooling applications where precision and alignment are critical. Their ability to guide the punch precisely ensures uniformity and reduces the risk of errors or damage to surrounding materials.

Pilot Punches are made from durable materials such as high-speed steel, tool steel, or carbide, making them suitable for high-performance applications, including punching through hard metals, alloys, and other tough materials.

Key Features
