Spend Less and Bend More with Replaceable Radius Tips
Changing radius tips is faster and easier with Wilson Tool's new radius tool holders with replaceable tips. We've developed a new fastening system that makes it easy to remove the tip from the holder simply by loosening the hardware one turn, then inserting a new tip and retightening. The hardware will automatically seat the tips into the holder when tightened.
The punch holders and replaceable radius tips are built for long-lasting durability. Each radius punch holder is hardened to 52-60 HRC at the v-contact points and given a black oxide finish to protect against rust. And all of the replaceable radius tips are hardened with our Nitrex® surface enhancement to 70 HRC for maximum strength.

All holders are 19.68 inches (500mm) in length. Radius tips are interchangeable with Wilson's American, European and WT style holders. A variety of sizes are kept in stock to ensure quick delivery.

TOOLING TIP
Q: We've heard a lot of things about tool coatings. One source claimed that coatings are only good until you have to sharpen the punch, and when you grind the coating off the end of the punch, it loses its effectiveness. Is this true?
A: Certainly not. While it is true that when sharpening, you are grinding off the surface of the punch tip, keep in mind that it is the perimeter of the punch that does the cutting. Because the coating extends all the way up the sides of the punch you get a fresh cutting edge with coating each time you re-sharpen. So, the benefits of coatings such as longer tool life, reduced galling, and more hits between sharpening last throughout the life of the tool. |
