Quick Length Adjustment
Button(after June 1999)
To adjust the length of the punch with the Quick Length Adjustment System, press the Quick Length Adjustment button and rotate the Quick Length Adjustment guide counterclockwise for punch length extension, or clockwise for punch length retraction until the button “clicks” into the next stop. Each ‘click’ adjusts the punch .008(0.2).
To provide proper stripper lead for each station, set punch face flush with stripper and retract punch as follows:
four ‘clicks’ or .032(0.8) for 2” C stationeight ‘clicks’ or .064(1.6) for 3 1/2” D stationfour ‘clicks’ or .032(0.8) for 4 1/2” E station
16 stops or ‘clicks’ completes one revolution of the Quick Length Adjustment punch head. No tools are required and no need to loosen the drawbolt.

Mate Slug Free® DieMate Slug Free® Die
Punch penetrates the material. Slug fractures away from sheet.
Punch retracts and slug is free to fall down and away through exit taper of the Slug Free die.
Material held securely by stripper before punch makes contact.
Pressure point constricts slug. Punch stroke bottoms out as slug squeezes past pressure point.
