The OD matches the ID of the hole and the punch has a point ground in the center so you can the center of the hole. Confused? You can drop the punch in hole(s) of the old part and mark it's center on the new part.

I believe transfer punch is the most common name. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,002 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,002 | Thank You, gentlemen. Transfer punch it is, found them real quick using that. There's also variation called a "Titty" punch that looks interesting. 8^)

Now you know the name..here is a tip on using them. Hit them ONCE lightly with a hammer, then remove the top piece and use a center punch to "make a lasting impression". The real cheap transfer punches can self destruct quite easily...look for a brand made somewhere other than India or China.
