E. DO NOT PUNCH ANYTHING THICKER THAN THE PUNCH DIAMETER.
This "rule of thumb" can be extended, but the punch supplier or Scotchman should be consulted first, i.e.
(Do not punch plate thicker than 1/2 inch with a 1/2 inch diameter punch.)
This rule of thumb applies to mild steel only and must be reduced when punching alloy steels.
Contact the factory or your local dealer before attempting to punch any type of alloy steel.
F. LUBRICATE THE PUNCH AND DIE.
This will hold stripping forces to a minimum and greatly extend punch life.
Lubrication must be applied after every 5 to 10 holes.
G. PUNCH FULL AND COMPLETE HOLES. DO NOT PUNCH PARTIAL HOLES.
The side thrust encountered in punching a partial hole can force the punch over against the die and
result in punch or die breakage and possible injury to the operator.
H. MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT MATERIAL BETWEEN THE PUNCHED HOLE AND THE EDGE
OF THE WORKPIECE.
The edge of the punch should clear the edge of the workpiece by a distance equal to the thickness of the
material being punched. Any edge distance of less than this amount will result in a deformed workpiece.
I. STAY WITHIN RATED PUNCHING CAPACITIES.
The FI-8510-20M Ironworker is designed to operate in mild steel.
Within conservative limits, it can also operate in medium carbon annealed steel and some forms of
abrasion resistant steels.
Conditions of high shock can be encountered when punching alloyed steels. The machine rating must be
reduced accordingly. Punch to die clearance depends on the material thickness.
In mild steels, material thicknesses of 1/4 through 5/8 inch (6 to 16mm) should have a total punch to die
clearance of 1/32 inch. (Punch di 1/32" = Die diameter.) 3/4 through 1 inch (19 thru 25mm) mild
steel should have a minimum of 1/16 inch clearance. (Punch di 1/16" = Die diameter.)
In thin materials, the recommended punch to die clearance is 1/10 of the material thickness.
We do not recommend less than 1/64 of an inch (.4mm) total clearance due to working clearances
necessary in the punch ram and punch bushing.
The maximum material thickness this machine is designed to punch is 1 inch (25mm) mild steel. For
