Maintenance Tips
  • Clean after use: Remove metal filings from punches, forming blocks, and dies to maintain smooth, precise forming surfaces.
  • Light oil protection: Apply a thin coat of anti-rust oil on all steel components to prevent corrosion and surface staining.
  • Keep tools organized: Store each piece in the tray to avoid impact damage and preserve alignment accuracy.
  • Avoid misuse force: Do not strike or press beyond intended forming limits to protect hardened, precision-ground surfaces.
  • Use proper striking tools: Always use polished hammers or mallets to prevent marking punches and blocks.
  • Inspect wear regularly: Check cavities and punch faces for dents or deformation that may affect forming precision.
  • Store dry environment: Keep away from moisture to maintain long-term polish and dimensional accuracy.
