Dayton Lamina Hpb 100 500 M2 Solid Die Blank Punch M2 Hss

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA HPB 100 500 M2 is a solid mold die blank punch engineered for precision blanking and piercing operations in mold and die tooling applications. Built from M2 grade high-speed steel, it carries a hardness rating of 60-63 HRC, providing excellent wear resistance and edge retention under high-cycle press conditions. The ball lock retention system secures the punch firmly in the die set, reducing the risk of pull-out during the return stroke. With a 1-inch shank diameter and an overall length of 5 inches, this punch is sized for standard tooling plates. It is installed and maintained by tool and die makers, mold technicians, and press room maintenance professionals.

This blank punch is suited for use in stamping and blanking dies found in metalworking shops, production press rooms, and mold fabrication facilities. The Regular HPB series is a widely recognized standard in solid die punch tooling, making this part a straightforward fit in tooling setups that call for a ball lock, solid-body design. Applications include blanking sheet metal, light plate stock, and similar materials where a solid punch body is preferred over a headed or shoulder-style design.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tool and die makers or press room maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press before removing or installing any punch or die component. Verify that the ball lock retainer and spring are in good condition before seating the punch, and confirm proper punch-to-die clearance per your tooling design before returning the press to service. Do not modify the shank diameter or punch length in the field.
