Punching

A Center Punch is a hand tool used to make a small indentation on a workpiece to mark the center point for drilling. This indentation guides the drill bit and prevents it from slipping or wandering. It is commonly used in fitting and metalworking for accurate drilling operations.

A Prick Punch is a hand marking tool used to make small, fine indentations on metal surfaces for accurate layout work. It has a sharp pointed tip with a smaller angle (usually around 30°) compared to a center punch, allowing precise marking of layout lines and reference points. This tool is commonly used in fitting and metalworking.

A Dot Punch is a hand tool used for marking small indentations on metal surfaces, typically to locate layout points or guide further machining operations. It has a sharper point compared to a center punch, allowing finer and more precise marking. This tool is widely used in fitting and metalworking for layout work.
