Milwaukee EXACT 6 In. Punch

Description

Splitting massive steel cutouts into two halves prevents heavy 6-Inch metal slugs from jamming inside die cups. The Milwaukee EXACT 6in Knockout Punch shears enclosure walls under 10-Ton hydraulic force. You thread the punch by hand. This package delivers the punch unit only, requiring a separate 6-Inch die, draw stud, and hydraulic driver to operate.

Hardened alloy tool steel forms the heavy cylindrical punch body, coated in black oxide to resist rust and surface galling. Precision cutting teeth feature slug-splitting geometry that divides large metal knockouts into two curved pieces. Red laser-etched crosshairs align with cabinet layout marks. The bare punch scales at 6.8 lbs, measuring 6.75 inches across its cutting diameter to form standard six-inch commercial electrical conduit holes.

Key Features of Milwaukee EXACT

Industrial electrical contractors buy Milwaukee EXACT 6in punches to install large service entrance conduits in distribution switchboards and transformer enclosures. The dual-point cutting geometry splits thick metal cutouts, allowing effortless slug removal without hammers or pry bars.

• Precision cutting edges punch clean holes for standard 6-Inch commercial electrical conduit pipes.
• Slug-splitting tooth design divides metal waste in half to stop cutouts sticking in dies.
• Heavy alloy tool steel punches up to 10-Gauge mild steel and 12-Gauge stainless steel.
• Vivid red crosshairs provide accurate visual alignment against pencil panel layout lines.
• Standard 1-1/8-Inch internal thread pitch mates with industry standard hydraulic draw studs.
• Compatible with Milwaukee FORCE LOGIC 10-Ton drivers and standard commercial hydraulic rams.
• Black oxide finish protects cutting teeth from friction heat and corrosion in damp trailers.

Punch Shear Bench Load Metrics

Bench tensile testing confirms the 6-Inch punch shears 10-Gauge mild steel plate under 18,500 lbs of linear draw stud pulling force. The dual split-tip cutting teeth divide the large steel slug into two distinct pieces that drop free with under 1.0 lb of hand tap force. Punch teeth show zero roll-over or micro-cracking across 50 consecutive test punches in commercial NEMA 3R transformer tubs. Thread pitch tolerances hold within 0.0005 inches under repeated 10-Ton hydraulic cycles.

Shop Floor Handling Field Service

The knurled punch perimeter gives you solid grip when threading the heavy 6.8-lb steel cup onto draw studs inside deep enclosures. Skip using this punch on manual ratchet drivers; the immense cutting perimeter demands 10-Ton hydraulic force. Thread the punch down until it sits flush against the panel before engaging the pump.

• Clear metal chips off cutting teeth using a brass wire brush after every punch cycle.
• Apply high-pressure thread grease to internal draw stud threads before each large cut.
• Store the punch in a dry toolbox pocket to protect precision cutting edges from nicking.
