Original Style Thick Turret

Original Style Thick Turret Tooling for Thick Turret configured punch presses

Mate's Original Style Thick Turret Tooling is fully OEM compatible tooling with several design enhancements. Premium High Speed Tool Steel is a standard feature in all Mate Thick Turret punches.

Our punch heads on the 1/2" A and 1 1/4" B stations are hexagon shaped for easy adjustments and maintenance. Mate designed a reversible spring retainer for the 1/2" A and 1 1/4" B stations providing unparalleled advantages.

Mate Slug Free® Dies and uniform clearance corners are standard features.  Why settle for the ordinary when you have Mate?

Punch Point Range: 0.030(0.80) to 0.500(12.70)

Punches: Premium high-speed tool steel - optimum edge wear resistance. 1/4 degree back taper and near polished flanks to reduce friction and eliminate galling. Exceptional dimensional accuracy and tool life. Minute corner radii to reduce chipping. Single point turned radii at base of punch point to improve strength. Superior angularity and concentricity for improved hole quality.

SLUG FREE® Dies: Highly wear resistant, chrome air hardened tool steel. SLUG FREE® die geometry eliminate slug pulling. Uniform clearance radii in die corners to improved piece part quality. Precision orientation with hardened pin. 0.118(3.00) grind life. Improved die strength. Superior roundness and flatness.

Stripper: Fully OEM compatible. Close tolerance opening for superior piece part quality. Precision alignment slots for superior piece part quality. Hardened and ground to reduce friction. Radiused face - to reduce sheet marking.

Punch Head: Hexagonal design and 12.9 grade socket head cap screw for easier installation and adjustment.

Spring: High performance spring, with shot peaned and painted finish for reliable stripping throughout tool life.

Spring Retainer: Reversible design returns the punch to “new” position, after 0.078(2.00) has been removed during regrinding.
