Dayton Lamina 5-0828-1 Guide Post 1 in Od 7 in Oal

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 5-0828-1 is a press-fit friction guide post designed for use in punch and die tooling applications. Machined from hardened steel with a chrome-plated finish, this post delivers the surface hardness and dimensional accuracy required for consistent, repeatable die alignment. It measures 1 inch in outside diameter and 7 inches in overall length. The press-fit attachment method allows for secure, permanent installation into die sets without additional fasteners. Tool and die makers, stamping technicians, and precision machining shops are the primary installers of this component.

This guide post is suited for use in metal stamping dies, progressive dies, and compound die sets where accurate column-to-bushing alignment is critical. The friction post design works in conjunction with guide bushings to maintain consistent shut height and lateral alignment during press cycling. Applications span both short-run and production tooling in light to medium tonnage press operations.

Key Features

• Press-fit attachment for permanent, fastener-free installation
• Friction post design for precise column-to-bushing guidance
• 1 inch outside diameter for standard die set compatibility
• 7 inch overall length to accommodate varied die stack heights
• Hardened steel construction for wear resistance and long service life
• Chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and reduced friction at the post surface

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for standard press-fit guide post die sets requiring a 1 inch diameter friction post.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tool and die makers using a hydraulic or arbor press to drive the post into the die shoe to the required depth. Ensure the receiving bore is machined to the correct press-fit tolerance before installation, as the post cannot be repositioned without machining. Do not use impact tools, as they may damage the post surface or alter alignment. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and lock out all press energy before performing any die maintenance or post replacement.
