Accessories Required
'D' punches and dies RS stock nos 607-415 etc
Strippers RS stock nos 602-381 and 602-397.
Used in conjunction with RS press, stock no. 541-309, these punches
and dies will cut the complete range of panel cut-outs for standard 'D'
connectors. Both component and fixing screw holes are punched in
one operation.
It is essential that a stripper is used with these tools. For 9-way and 15-
way 'D' hole punches use stripper RS stock no. 602-381. For all other
sizes use stripper RS stock no. 602-397.
Setting and punching procedure
1. Fit the punch in the die, raise the ram to the 'up' position and place
the die on the press base.
2. Lower the ram so that the punch spigot runs into the ram hole.
Retain the die in the press base with the four screws provided, but
do not lock at this point.
3. Turn the ram locking screw so that it holds the punch spigot at the
undercut.
4. Raise and lower the punch in the die, making suitable adjustments
to ensure free alignment.
5. Lower the punch into the die, lock the punch in the ram and the die
to the base.
6. Raise the punch and fit the stripper (Figure 5a) so that the hole in
the stripper allows full closure of the punch and die (without fouling)
yet gives sufficient clearance for material to feed freely between die
and stripper.
7. Set the adjustable stop to limit ram throw.
8. Feed the workpiece under the stripper and align using centre lines
on the workpiece with the bottom of the 'V' shape of the punch
which will be the centre of the punched hole.
9. Pull the handle down to pierce the workpiece then raise the punch.
10.The stripper will hold material down as the punch is raised.
Points of caution and information
11. Use materials up to the maximum thicknesses as specified on page 1.
12. To prevent material build-up ensure that the slot (Figure 5a) does
not get jammed with cut-outs.
13. Always ensure that tools are free of waste material and are lightly
oiled before storage.
14. Protect the tool surfaces and edges from damage by storing in the
packaging supplied.
