Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can Blue Spot centre punches mark?

Blue Spot centre punches are designed for use on metal, wood, plastic, and composite materials. They're particularly effective on steel, aluminium, brass, and softer metals where precise drilling locations are required.

How do I maintain my Blue Spot centre punch?

Keep the point sharp by occasional light dressing with a fine grinding stone. Wipe clean after use and apply a light coating of oil to prevent rust. Avoid using centre punches on hardened steel surfaces, which can damage the tip.

What's the difference between standard and automatic centre punches?

Standard centre punches require striking with a hammer to create an indentation, whilst automatic centre punches use an internal spring mechanism that releases when pressed against the workpiece, eliminating the need for a hammer blow.
