Punch and Die Same Size? That’s the Problem!
When it comes to punching holes, matching punch and die sizes is a mistake we see too often.
A punch and die are not meant to be the same size when used together. Without proper clearance, you’re setting yourself up for a crash, resulting in broken tooling and a dangerous situation.

How to Determine Die Clearance?
Material type and thickness is what determines die clearance. Thinner material requires less clearance and the thicker it gets, the more clearance you need.
