Greenlee 35168 Knockout Punch Die Round 1.28 Inch

Product Description

The GREENLEE 35168 is a round knockout punch die designed for use in the Slug-Buster knockout system. It produces clean, accurate holes in mild steel sheet metal up to 10 gauge. The die is a replacement component that pairs with a matching punch and draw stud to complete the cutting assembly. Assembled correctly through a pilot hole, the unit shears the slug free cleanly, and a quick tip motion ejects it from the die cavity. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors performing panel, enclosure, and conduit knockout work are the primary installers of this tooling.

This die is rated for use on mild steel up to 10 gauge and is designated for the 1.28-inch knockout size. It is compatible with battery-powered, hydraulic, ratchet, and manual knockout drivers, making it suitable for both shop and field use. The die is intended to be used with Greenlee punch model 24459 and is a direct replacement component for the Slug-Buster system identified by model 35179. It is well suited to residential and commercial electrical enclosure and panel work where clean, burr-free conduit knockouts are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians following applicable NEC guidelines for enclosure and panel preparation. Power down all equipment and de-energize panels completely before beginning knockout work on live enclosures. A correctly sized pilot hole must be drilled before assembling the punch unit through the workpiece. Never use this die without the matching punch and draw stud, and do not exceed the rated material gauge to avoid tooling damage.
