Centering & Marking Punches
Available34 products
Centering and marking punches make an indentation that marks the spot to drill a hole in a workpiece. This starting point guides drill bits to improve the quality of drilled holes and prevent bits from drifting and marring surfaces. Centering and marking punches are commonly used in metalworking, crafting, and other tasks that require accurate holes.
Shank Shape
Centering Punches
Centering punches make larger indentations and mark harder materials than prick punches. They are sometimes used to enlarge small indentations. Centering punches are typically struck on their shank to make the mark.

Non-Sparking Centering Punches
Non-sparking centering punches contain no ferrous metals, so they resist creating sparks. This reduces the risk of ignition when aligning holes in environments where combustible dust or flammable liquids, gas, or vapors are present. Centering punches have a thick tip that makes larger indentations and marks harder materials than prick punches. They are sometimes used to enlarge small indentations. Centering punches are typically struck on their shank to make the mark.

Prick Punches
The fine point of prick punches makes smaller indentations and marks softer materials than centering punches. They scribe reference marks and mark precise center points on wood, plastic, and thin sheet metal. Prick punches are struck lightly on their shank to prevent bending or other damage to delicate workpieces.
