Dayton Lamina Hpb 125 450 M2 Solid Die Blank Punch M2 Hss

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA HPB 125 450 M2 is a solid mold die blank punch engineered for precision stamping and die-making applications. Built from M2 grade high-speed steel, it delivers a hardness rating of 60-63 HRC, ensuring long service life under high-cycle punching operations. The 1-1/4 inch shank diameter and ball lock retention system provide secure, repeatable tooling engagement in standard die sets. This punch is part of the Regular HPB series and is specified by tooling engineers and die makers working in metal fabrication and progressive die operations.

This blank punch is suited for use in solid mold die assemblies found in metal stamping, progressive die, and mold and die manufacturing environments. The ball lock design allows for fast changeout in production tooling setups without requiring complete die disassembly. It is typically installed by tool and die makers or machining professionals in industrial fabrication and manufacturing facilities requiring consistent, high-tolerance punch performance.
