RPM Body Post Punch

[robmob]

I don't know how long RPM has made one of these, but it sure looks to make short work of creating body holes.

I always use a reamer which can make for inconsistent size holes if I'm not careful. With one of these you would just need to mark the center of the hole, put the body over a piece of wood at the hole location and whack the punch with a hammer.

I am going to pick one up the next time I make an order at Tower or anyplace else that carries it.

You could just go to your local tool store and check into some "hollow" punches.

I've always just drilled them out.

okay...maybe this a dumb question, but does this punch actually cut thru the lexan or just score it to create a consistent line?

 

[robmob]

It cuts through the lexan just like a hole punch for paper.
