About 7/8 KUTWEL KNOCKOUT PUNCH
KUTWEL knockout punches are widely used by panel manufacturers, electrical contractors, offshore jobs and projects.
Knockout punches are very useful for punching big holes in sheet metals were we face big problems on very big panels. It becomes impossible to make such big holes upto 100mm on the panels already installed on the site.
Knockout punch comes from 1/2' to 4" sizes for sheets upto 10 guage

FAQ's of 7/8 KUTWEL KNOCKOUT PUNCH:
Q: How do I use the 7/8 KUTWEL Knockout Punch for creating holes in steel panels?
A: To use this tool, drill a pilot hole in your mild steel panel, insert the punch and die assembly with the high-strength steel bolt through the hole, and tighten it with a wrench. The Slugbuster mechanism cuts a clean, round 7/8 inch hole and removes the slug quickly for efficient operation.
Q: What materials and thicknesses is this punch suitable for?
A: The 7/8 KUTWEL Knockout Punch is specifically designed for mild steel panels up to 3.2 mm in thickness. Its high-precision, circular cutter allows for clean holes in electrical panels, control boxes, and metal enclosures.
Q: When should I use a knockout punch instead of drilling?
A: A knockout punch is ideal when you need precise, burr-free holes in electrical or control panels. It provides cleaner edges and higher accuracy compared to standard drilling, especially important for installing conduit fittings or when maintaining enclosure integrity.
Q: Where is the 7/8 KUTWEL Knockout Punch typically used?
A: This punch is commonly used in electrical fabrication, panel building, and installation settings-specifically for making holes in mild steel enclosures, electrical boxes, and control panels to accommodate conduit and wiring.
Q: What are the benefits of the Slugbuster punch type in this tool?
A: The Slugbuster design efficiently removes the punched slug as soon as the hole is created, minimizing downtime and making operation faster and cleaner. This improves workflow and reduces cleanup after each punch.
Q: What is the process for maintaining or reusing this knockout punch?
A: After use, clean the punch components to remove debris and inspect for any signs of wear. Lubricate the threads lightly to ensure smooth operation and proper storage in the provided box pack will help prolong its lifespan and maintain performance.
Q: What type of conduit size is compatible with this knockout punch?
A: The 7/8 KUTWEL Knockout Punch is compatible with 3/4 inch conduit sizes, making it suitable for standard electrical conduits commonly used in panel and enclosure installations.
