HOW TO USE:

• Select the Punch: Choose the appropriate size center punch from the set based on the desired drill bit size and the material you are working with. A smaller point is generally used for smaller drill bits, and a larger point for larger ones.
• Position the Punch: Place the tip of the chosen center punch precisely on the spot where you want to start your drill hole. Ensure it is firmly seated and stable.
• Strike the Punch: Using a hammer or mallet, strike the head of the center punch firmly and squarely. A single, sharp blow is usually sufficient to create a clear indentation.
• Verify Mark: Lift the punch and inspect the created dimple. It should be deep enough to guide your drill bit without allowing it to wander. If necessary, you can repeat the process with another light tap.
• Begin Drilling: Once a satisfactory mark is made, you can confidently begin drilling, knowing your drill bit will start precisely at the marked location.
