Automatic centre punch VACP-1 — 14 mm tip, 120 mm length (Vertex)

The Automatic centre punch is a hand-held centre marker designed for precise, repeatable centre punching in metalworking and general workshop tasks.

• Automatic impact mechanism for repeatable marks
• 14 mm tip diameter for precise centre points
• 120 mm overall length for secure handling
• Lightweight at 0.07 kg for comfortable use

Consistent centre marking for reliable drill starts

A robust mechanical impact delivers precision without an external hammer, ensuring repeatability across successive marks. The spring-driven action produces a defined indentation that simplifies drill alignment and reduces wander at the start of a hole. For workshop environments where process reliability matters, this compact marker helps maintain consistent part quality and faster set-up times. The simple mechanical principle also makes the result easy to predict, which benefits repeat production runs and occasional one-off jobs alike.

Designed for fast, ergonomic workshop operation

With an overall length of 120 mm and a mass of only 0.07 kg, the tool balances positive control with low operator fatigue. The body length provides a comfortable grip while the automatic striking action removes the need for separate striking tools, speeding up marking tasks and reducing handling steps. This combination of compact design and automated impact delivers measurable time savings in marking workflows and contributes directly to improved throughput and operator comfort.

Low-maintenance tool that integrates into workshop routines

The straightforward mechanical construction minimises maintenance requirements and supports long service life under normal workshop use. Periodic cleaning and occasional lubrication of the mechanism are normally sufficient to keep performance stable. The 14 mm tip dimension provides a clearly defined contact area for consistent centre points.

FAQ

How does the automatic mechanism operate?
The automatic mechanism in the Automatic centre punch uses a spring‑driven striker that creates an impact when pressed, producing a repeatable indentation without a hammer.

What size of mark does the tip make?
The tool is specified with a 14 mm tip diameter, which gives a clearly defined centre point suitable for drill starting and alignment tasks.

Is the tool suitable for regular workshop use?
Yes; the VACP-1 from Vertex is designed for routine workshop marking and benefits from a simple mechanical design that supports regular use with minimal maintenance.

How should the centre punch be maintained?
Keep the tool clean and free of swarf; occasional light lubrication of the mechanism is recommended to maintain smooth operation and consistent striking force.

Can the centre marks be used as drill start points?
The indentations produced by the VACP-1 provide reliable drill start points and help to prevent drill wandering when beginning a hole.
