## Overview

The Starrett 117B Centre Punch features a 4-inch length and a finely tapered 3/32" point crafted from hardened, tempered alloy steel. Its knurled round shank ensures a secure grip, enabling precise dimpling to guide drill bits and prevent slippage. Lightweight yet durable, this tool is a must-have for professionals demanding accuracy and reliability in metal, wood, and plastic marking tasks.

## Description

Product Description The Starrett 117B centre punch with round shank is 4" long and has a 3/32" (2.5 mm) diameter tapered point. The punch is made from hardened and tempered steel, which provides wear resistance and strength. The round shank is knurled for grip. Centre punches make small dimple marks in a workpiece to help guide a drill bit. Manual centre punches have a metal shank with a point and are typically tapped with a ball-peen hammer to mark the material. Automatic centre punches have an internal spring mechanism that enables them to mark the material without using a hammer, leaving one hand free for steadying the work. The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA. Box Contains 1 x Centre Punch with Round Shank

Review: Lovely build quality - I had a need for a fixed centre punch with a small profile. This fit the bill perfectly. For the basic tool that it is, it looks really nice and is well hardened. This was able to punch into relatively tough steel with no issues at all. Sure, it might be a little on the pricey side compared to what you can pay, but in this case you really do get what you pay for, and it doesn't exactly break the bank. Next on my list is an optical centre punch, but those are (for a nice one at time of writing) north of £50, lol
Review: Top quality. - Top quality tool. Should have bought one years ago. So useful for marking, starting off drilling, screwing, even nailing. And it's useful for a variety of materials from metal to plastic, stone to wood. Great for stopping "drill-bit walk".
