The Sawinery Auto Center Punch has been specially designed for woodworkers, to allow precise and positive location for drilling holes. This has traditionally only been available to metalworkers, who typically use a center punch, before drilling. The shaper point and automatic tripping mechanism on the Auto Center Punch provide an indentation, without the need of using a hammer.

Unlike typical metalworking punches, this tool features a large, comfortable palm knob, allowing users to apply the necessary pressure without discomfort. The punch is versatile, working on all types of wood, with an adjustable triggering mechanism for different wood densities.

Crafted with a machined aluminum body and hardened steel tip, this punch is built for durability. While it can be used with twist drills, it's best paired with brad-point drills to avoid tear-out and ensure cleaner cuts in wood. Always use a backer piece when drilling for the best results.

Highlights 

  • One-handed operation for ease of use
  • Punch is spring-loaded, providing the impact force when pressed down
  • Easily adjustable tension, adapts to varying material hardness
  • Fine point makes it easier to find the center of crosshairs or other marks

How To Use The Automatic Center Punch

  • Slip-Resistant Knurled Aluminum Body

    The knurled aluminum body ensures a firm grip, reducing the risk of slipping during use. This feature provides enhanced control for precise punches.

  • Comfortable Pressure Knob

    A large pressure knob on the top end increases comfort when applying force. This ergonomic design reduces hand strain, making repeated use more manageable during extended projects.
