Q-max Q Max Sheet Metal Hole Punch Metric 48mm QMA48M

The Q Max 48mm Sheet Metal Hole Punch offers excellent capability for creating substantial diameter holes in sheet metal up to 16 gauge. This larger size is particularly useful for sizeable conduit installations, larger electrical fittings, and various applications requiring a 48mm aperture. Featuring heat-treated cutting edges with a black anti-corrosive finish, this punch consistently produces clean, burr-free holes. The special design distributes cutting load evenly, ensuring smooth, even cutting action and making operation efficient even when working with tougher materials within the gauge range. As a larger punch, this 48mm model uses the simplified configuration with threading in the punch itself rather than on the hexagonal screw, eliminating the die nut component. This streamlined design makes assembly quicker and operation more straightforward. A 10mm hexagonal wrench (MC type) is required to operate the mechanism effectively and provide sufficient torque for this cutting diameter. Features and Benefits: • 48mm diameter ideal for substantial mounting and conduit applications • Operates with 10mm hexagonal wrench (MC type, sold separately) • Simplified configuration without die nut for faster setup • Heat-treated edges provide long-lasting performance • Produces burr-free holes with no finishing required Specifications: Punch Type: Metric Diameter (mm): 48 Key Type: MC. 10mm Hex Key Pilot Drill (mm): 12.7
