Dayton Lamina Kpb 31 175 M2 Solid Mold Die Blank Punch

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA KPB 31 175 M2 is a solid mold die blank punch designed for precision stamping and die-making applications. Built from M2 grade high speed steel, this punch delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding production tooling work. It features a basic head profile with a 7/16 inch head diameter, a 5/16 inch shank diameter, a 1/8 inch head height, and an overall length of 1.75 inches. It is part of the Regular KPB series and is intended for use by tool and die makers, machinists, and metal fabrication professionals working with mold and stamping tooling.

This blank punch is suited for use in mold and die tooling setups where a standard basic head configuration is required. The 5/16 inch shank allows it to fit standard punch retainer components in tooling assemblies. Its compact 1.75 inch overall length fits typical die set configurations in both short-run and production environments. The M2 high speed steel construction handles the heat and impact loads common in repetitive stamping cycles without significant edge degradation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tool and die makers or qualified machinists. The punch should be seated fully into the retainer and secured per the retainer manufacturer's specifications before any press operation. Ensure the press is fully de-energized and locked out before servicing or replacing tooling components. Do not use punch components that show visible cracks, chipping, or out-of-tolerance wear.
