How to use the “THE BIG” TruPunch™ by Precision Brand®:
- Punch the I.D. hole first
- Attach the appropriate I.D. pilot to the O.D. punch
- Place the material in between the top and base plates so the I.D. hole is beneath the O.D. guide hole
- Insert the O.D. punch so that the I.D. pilot moves into the I.D. hole which should automatically center the material. Make sure the O.D. punch has been pushed completely through the top plate and is touching the material
- Strike the punch squarely with enough force to penetrate the material with one blow
