Dayton Lamina Kpb 37 200 M2 Solid Die Blank Punch M2 Hss

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA KPB 37 200 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, this punch delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for consistent performance in production stamping environments. Key dimensions include a 0.5 inch head diameter, a 0.375 inch shank diameter, a 0.1875 inch head height, and a 2 inch overall length. The Basic Head profile and KPB Regular series design make it a straightforward replacement or new-build component for toolmakers and die maintenance technicians.

This punch is suited for use in solid mold die sets found in production stamping, progressive die, and blanking tooling. The KPB series is a standard catalog punch geometry used in both new toolroom builds and maintenance replacement scenarios. Typical installers include tool and die makers, toolroom machinists, and press maintenance personnel working in industrial manufacturing facilities where repeatable hole quality and punch longevity are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified tool and die maker or toolroom machinist. The punch should be pressed or driven into the retainer plate only after the press is fully de-energized and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Verify head seating and shank alignment before returning the die to service. Do not grind the shank diameter or alter head geometry without verifying fit against the retainer drawing.
