Centre punch tip VLC-314 — 60° precision point with MT4 shank by Vertex

Centre punch tip VLC-314 is a machine-ready marking tip designed for accurate centre punches and repeatable positioning in workshop and production environments.

• Stainless steel construction for longevity
• 60° tip for accurate centre marking
• Replaceable tips reduce tooling costs
• MT4 shank for secure machine mounting

Consistent centre marks for reliable machining

The 60° tip geometry provides a defined contact profile that reduces drill wander and ensures repeatable start points for machining operations. With an accuracy of 0.008 mm, the component layout remains consistent from part to part, supporting process reliability and lower scrap rates. This marked precision is especially valuable where subsequent drilling or reaming operations require exact centring; the controlled initial indentation simplifies downstream tool guidance and reduces rework.

Built for workshop durability and straightforward servicing

Manufactured from stainless steel, the unit resists corrosion and maintains dimensional stability under shop-floor conditions, which extends service intervals and lowers life‑cycle costs. The replaceable tips design keeps consumable costs down and shortens maintenance downtime since worn points are exchanged rather than the entire tool. With a length of 182 mm and a robust mass of 2 kg, the tool offers substantial hand‑feel and balance when used in fixtures or machine spindles, delivering a reliable tactile reference during positioning.

Secure mounting and controlled operation for machine use

The MT4 shank (Morse taper 4) guarantees concentricity and secure seating in compatible spindles and tailstocks, reducing runout during marking cycles. A rated rotational/operational parameter of 2500 rpm indicates suitability for machine-mounted processes where rotational stability is required; the combination of taper fit and mass supports steady contact without chatter. Supplied by Vertex, the design focuses on compatibility with common workshop tooling and on delivering predictable results in repetitive production tasks.

FAQ

What is the tip angle and why does it matter?
The centre punch tip VLC-314 features a 60° angle; this geometry creates a stable indentation that helps guide drills and reduces lateral slippage during initial penetration.

Can the point be replaced and what are the benefits?
Yes, the VLC-314 comes with replaceable tips; swapping worn points preserves the tool body, reduces consumable costs and shortens maintenance cycles in production use.

Is the shank compatible with standard machine spindles?
The tool uses an MT4 (Morse taper 4) shank for secure seating in compatible spindles and tailstocks, ensuring concentricity and low runout during marking operations.

What level of accuracy can be expected for repeat marks?
Repeatability is specified at 0.008 mm, so the centre punch tip VLC-314 is suitable where tight positional consistency is required between successive operations.

Who manufactures this tool and where is it produced?
The product is supplied by Vertex under the SKU VLC-314; Vertex produces precision tooling designed for workshop and industrial applications.
