  • F55 dies are most commonly paired with F16 and F20 round punches.
  • Check the stamp or engraving on your punch for a part number or other identifying marks.

  • If you're still unsure, contact our customer support team and we will help identify the correct punch.
04

How do I determine the correct punch and die clearance?

The proper die clearance depends on the type and thickness of the material you're punching. Softer, thinner materials require less clearance, while harder, thicker materials require more. Use the clearance chart above to determine whether to add 1/32", 1/16", 3/32", or 1/8" to your punch diameter when selecting a die.

05

How do I get the longest life out of my die?

To maximize die life:

  • Apply Punch-Easy® lubricant every 5–10 punches.
  • Use the correct punch and die clearance for your material.
  • Make sure the punch stripper fully contacts the material before punching.
  • Never punch material that is thicker than the diameter of the punch.

Following these guidelines will help reduce wear and extend the life of both your punch and die.
