Centre punch VLC-312 — Vertex centre punch with interchangeable tips and MT2 taper

The Centre punch VLC-312 is a precision marking tool designed for creating consistent, defined centres prior to drilling and machining, suitable for workshop and light industrial applications.

• Solid stainless steel construction
• MT2 taper for standard headstocks
• 60° hardened centre tip
• Interchangeable tips for versatility

Precise marking that reduces drilling errors and rework

A defined centre mark shortens setup time and improves first-pass drilling accuracy: the tool delivers high repeatability thanks to its measured tolerance of 0.008, which ensures that marks stay consistent between operations. The 60° tip geometry concentrates force to produce sharp, visible centres on metal and other machinable surfaces, reducing the tendency for drill bits to wander. For production environments where reliability and predictable results matter, this precision marking device contributes directly to process efficiency and lower scrap rates.

Durable design built for everyday workshop use

Constructed from stainless steel and balanced at a length of 127 mm with a mass of 0.9 kg, the tool provides a solid feel and long service life under normal workshop conditions. The integrated MT2 taper allows secure seating in standard tailstocks or dedicated holders, while the rated rotational capacity of 4,000 r.p.m. supports use in revolving centres where appropriate. Robust materials and a compact form factor reduce maintenance intervals and deliver stable performance in repetitive marking tasks.

Interchangeable tips for flexible applications and fast maintenance

Equipped with interchangeable tips, the system adapts to different materials and marking requirements without replacing the entire tool. Tips can be swapped quickly to match workpiece hardness or to restore a crisp mark after wear, limiting downtime and keeping production moving. This modularity also reduces inventory needs: one handle accommodates multiple tip geometries, which is especially useful in mixed-production shops. The SKU VLC-312 identifies the exact configuration for spare parts and replacement tips.
