The centre punch is made form mild steel with the point hardened and tempered so that it withstands impact with the material it is marking. It is normally used to mark the centre of a hole to be drilled either by hand or on the drilling machine.

The dot punch is a lighter and thinner version of the centre punch and is used basically for the same job. However, it is more accurately as the dot produced is smaller.

How do you use center punches?

A centre punch is just like a hard, thick nail. If you put it against metal and hit it with a hammer you get a little dot, a small pit with a raised edge. It's useful if you're drilling a hole and want to control where it goes. You put the punch where the centre of the hole is supposed to be and then the raised ridges will help center the drill.
