Q Max Sheet Metal Hole Punch Imperial

The Q Max 1 5/8" Sheet Metal Hole Punch is perfect for cutting large diameter holes in sheet metal up to 16 gauge, making it ideal for substantial electrical installations, larger HVAC applications, industrial conduit runs, and heavy-duty fabrication projects requiring generous apertures. This size is particularly suited to professional applications demanding larger hole diameters. Manufactured with heat-treated cutting edges and a protective black anti-corrosive surface finish, this punch delivers reliable, long-lasting performance whilst resisting rust in demanding workshop conditions. Its special design distributes load evenly during cutting, producing burr-free holes that eliminate the need for additional finishing work. To use, drill a pilot hole large enough to clear the hexagonal screw, thread the die and screw through the sheet metal, then tighten the die nut to cut cleanly and evenly through the material. This punch is supplied individually boxed without a key. It requires a Type B 5/16" hexagonal wrench, which should be ordered separately.
