Tips & Tricks
Improve Ball Lock Punch Durability

Ball Lock punches
Q: I am currently stamping stainless steel and would like to increase the tool life of my Ball Lock punches. What options are available to me?

A: Wilson Tool is the first and only
manufacturer to offer Ball Lock tooling
with CPM4 as the standard tool steel.
Upgrading to CPM4 alone has resulted
in a significant reduction in wear and
increased durability. CPM4 material combined with standard Wilson Tool features such as; back taper, precision keying and superior surface finish will reduce the stripping force, resulting in less chipping/breaking and longer tool life.

Additional features such as Effex™ surface finish and our proprietary Optima™ coating will also greatly increase tool life resulting in better performance and less downtime.

For more information on the various tool steel options and Wilson Tool products, call 1-800-944-4671 or visit wilsontool.com.
