Dayton Lamina Hpb 100 400 M2 Solid Mold Die Blank Punch M2 Hss

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA HPB 100 400 M2 is a solid mold die blank punch designed for precision blanking, piercing, and forming operations in mold and die tooling applications. Manufactured from M2 grade high-speed steel, this punch delivers a hardness rating of 60 to 63 HRC, providing the wear resistance and toughness required for demanding stamping and die-making work. The ball lock retention system secures the punch reliably in the retainer plate, reducing setup time and minimizing the risk of punch pull-out during high-cycle operations. Tool and die makers and precision machining shops are the primary installers of this component.

This blank punch is part of the Regular HPB series and is suited for use in solid mold die sets used in metal stamping, blanking, and forming operations. With a 4 inch overall length and a 0.625 inch shank diameter, it fits standard retainer plates designed for ball lock style punches. The punch ships in a minimum order quantity of one and package quantity of one, making it practical for single-tool replacement or new die builds in both short-run and production tooling environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers or precision machinists during die build or punch replacement. Power down and lock out all press and tooling equipment before servicing any punch or die component. Ensure the retainer plate bore and ball lock pocket are clean and free of debris before seating the punch. Follow applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures and shop safety standards when working on press tooling.
