Universal Punch Drivers



Mate offers its QCT Metric A & B station punch drivers. These long stem punches are also known as Mate Original Style or Amada Style.

Designed for easier, faster set-ups, these A & B station punch drivers use Mate's QCT punch retention system. The punch drivers are designed to simplify tooling inventory. These universal drivers may be used on rounds or shapes.

QCT punch inserts are made from Mate's M4PM steel. They are keyed at the perimeter for improved angularity control and have a .770" (19,56) SBR for added grind life. When punching, the shoulder of the punch remains securely guided.

Adding to long-lasting performance, the driver portion (below the stem) is made from high speed steel. It comes standard with Mate's proprietary next generation SuperMax coating for extended life. "This robust design has been proven in extensive tests with competitive tooling," said a company spokesperson.

The Ultra QCT Metric A & B station design is fully compatible with:

  • Mate's Ultra family of guides and standard canisters
  • Mate's Original Style guides and Rapidset canisters
  • Mate's Original Style guides and spring packs
  • Fully interchangeable with Amada NCT, NEX and Z-Tooling systems as well as Wilson thick turret metric punches.
