Dayton Lamina Hjb 100 475 M2 Solid Mold Die Blank Punch

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA HJB 100 475 M2 is a solid mold die blank punch from the Jektole (HJB) series, designed for use in progressive die and stamping tooling applications. Manufactured from M2 grade high-speed steel and hardened to 60-63 HRC, this punch delivers the wear resistance and edge retention required for high-cycle production environments. It features a ball lock retention style and a 0.12-inch shank diameter, with a total overall length of 4.75 inches. Toolmakers and die maintenance technicians select this punch for precision blanking operations where consistent dimensional accuracy is critical.

This punch is suited for use in mold and die tooling setups common to metal stamping and progressive die operations, both in short-run job shop environments and high-volume production facilities. The Jektole series is a widely recognized platform in precision die component tooling. The solid blank body allows the toolmaker to machine the working end to a custom profile, making this punch adaptable to a broad range of blanking and piercing applications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for Jektole (HJB) series die punch holder assemblies using ball lock retention in progressive die and stamping tooling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and modification of die punch components should be performed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians using appropriate press safety lockout procedures. The blank punch body must be machined to the required working profile before use - do not install an unfinished blank in an active die set. Ensure the punch holder and ball lock mechanism are clean and free of debris before seating the punch. Follow all applicable shop safety standards during press maintenance and die changeout.
