Product Description

The STARRETT 12902 is a steel center punch point designed as a replaceable tip for center punch tools used in layout and marking work. Measuring 1-11/16 inches in length and 11/64 inches in diameter, this point delivers precise center marking on metal, wood, and other materials before drilling operations. Fabricated from steel for durability under repeated impact, it is a consumable component that machinists, millwrights, and general metalworkers replace as part of routine tool maintenance. Its compact size and standard geometry make it a straightforward stocking item for any shop or service truck.

This center punch point suits typical bench and field applications where accurate hole location is required prior to drilling. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, fabrication environments, HVAC service work involving sheet metal layout, and general trade applications where center punching is part of the workflow. The 12902 is noted for use with the Starrett 86401601, making it a direct service replacement for technicians already running that tool.
