Carbide punches are built for high-volume stamping operations where tool life, consistency, and uptime matter.

Compared to steel, carbide punches offer significantly longer life, cleaner cuts, and more reliable performance—helping reduce replacement tooling costs and minimize downtime.

Precision ground and made for durability, these punches maintain tight tolerances and consistent part quality across extended production runs.

We manufacture carbide punches per print for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Piercing

  • Shaving

  • Forming

  • Extrusion

  • Burnishing

Available in both standard and custom configurations, with sizes ranging from .030″ to 4″ in diameter, each component is built to integrate seamlessly into your die set assembly.

Common Carbide Punch Types

  • Pilot Punch

  • Extrusion Punch

  • Pierce Punch

  • Straight Punch

I’m on a mission to help job shops crush their marketing by building them a Radical brand that’s authentic to who they are and magnetic to those they want to attract.

My process empowers them to market their businesses simply and effectively without spending a fortune or wasting countless hours on social media.

Sharp, Shiny & Magnetic is how I operate. I believe that whatever energy you put out into the world, it has a ripple effect that consumes you and everyone around you, so I’m committed to making it the good kind.

I use my shiny disposition and sharp wit to help you source and shape your METAL–the stuff that makes your shop magnetic to the kinds of humans you want to have around you. I ask hard questions and go deep with my customers so that I can not only build them a Radical brand but help them OWN it and recognize their own Radicalness.
