Question: Can this be used to center punch a starter indentation on stainless steel
Document: This is a center punch better suited to punching holes in paper than punching holes in thin sheet metal. I was trying to rivet 18 gauge steel and it snapped on the first punch. Using a hammer and an old fashioned punch, I got the job done. Save your money.
Does what is intended to do, however;  and excuse the pun, they don't pack much punch. The metal used for the tip wasn't strong enough to put a decent starter hole for an 1/8&#34; bit in my brass plated atomizer, and thus dulled quickly.
Used as a center punch for drilling and tapping aluminum alloy piping. Works perfectly for this application. Place tip on surface, press firmly and the punch makes a precise, small divot for the drill bit.
I have not used it on hardened steel but on aluminum, plastic and wood, it is highly recomended. For hardened steel I'll probabably use a hammer punch.
As a retired machinist with over 23 years&#8217; experience, I&#8217;ve owned a few automatic center punches before. For professional needs, where the tool will be used often, the Tekton 6580 would not be the best choice.I found I had to keep the center punch set to its maximum pressure for common, soft materials such as aluminum, 1018, and 4140, (in it&#8217;s annealed state).
I don&#8217;t know what material they used to make the punch itself, but it seems to be holding up okay. That said however, because of such a low-pressure trip-action even when set to maximum, I would expect the point on the punch to hold up for some time.Though much more expensive, a center punch like a Starrett model is capable of placing a good, deep dent with just one application.
Great So far works great on mild steel, have not tried it stainless or tool steel. Would recommend to anyone.
I used it to create a starter hole to drill out a broken bolt. It worked like a charm and made it easier for the bit to bite. Great product and super low price, so I can't ask for much more.
I used these a lot in the machine shop, although those were more expensive versions. Any time I need to create a divot in metal or plastic to keep a drill from wandering or locate the center of a scribed circle this is the tool to have.
Worked great right out of the box. I haven't used it on anything other than 16g hot rolled milled steel yet, but for that it seems to handle fine.
Answer: yes
