Uses

Where can we use Allpax AX1855 dovetail punch kit?
Allpax AX1855 dovetail punch kit is ideal for applications where the operator needs to implement dovetail designs on flat gaskets, to increase material yields and significantly reduce scrap rates. This has a direct impact on cost savings, in terms of materials. This punch kit can be used on large sealing areas in transmission and distribution equipment.

Working Mechanism

How to use Allpax AX1855 dovetail punch kit?

Allpax AX1855 dovetail punch kit is ideal for cutting material smaller than the gasket to be cut. It can be used by following the simple steps mentioned below:

  • Take a piece of paper or cardboard, then lay out the outer diameter (OD), inner diameter (ID) and bolt holes of the desired gasket on that paper / cardboard.
  • Using the gasket material, cut arcs with the proper OD and ID.
  • Stack the arcs on the template, overlapping each end at least as much as the dovetail punch you will be using. Position the overlaps away from bolt-hole locations as you make overlaps. Tape down gasket material to the template on either side of the overlaps as you make them.
  • Using the dovetail punch, punch into each overlap by tapping with your hammer a few times. Strike the dovetail punch with solid, flat blows to complete the cut. Top and bottom materials will now have mating dovetails. Tape the dovetail joints together for easy handling.
  • If the gasket is wide, then you can design two or more side by side dovetails per joint.

Features

  • Allpax AX1855 dovetail punch kit is ideal for fabricating interlocking dovetail joints when the outside diameter of the gasket is larger than the width of the material to be cut.
  • It is a three piece kit that includes all three industry standard sizes for cutting 3/4 to 3 inch wide flange gaskets.
  • This kit allows the operator to punch perfect, strong dovetails in any pliable material.
  • When using Allpax AX1855 dovetail punch kit, wide flanges can be dovetailed together by multiple use of the punches.
  • This dovetail punch kit reduces labour costs by easily making only one cut, without having to pre measure, mark or score.
  • All 3 punches feature a padded rubber grip that ensures maximum comfort during continuous operations.
  • This easy to use Allpax AX1855 dovetail punch kit allows the operator to overlay material and double cut both mating pieces at once for a perfect fit.

How to maintain and take care of your punches and chisels?

To ensure that your punches and chisels perform safely and reliably for many years, routine maintenance is required. Some things the operator should keep in mind are:

  • When used as striking tools, most punches and chisels have deferential tempering, meaning that the striking end is softer than the working end.
  • When punch or chisel mushrooms are on the striking end, they need to be dressed to prevent the mushrooming pieces from breaking and causing harm.
  • Maintaining a sharp and clean edge at the opposite end (working end) ensures you have a tool that is safe and will work well for an extended period of time.

What points must one consider when looking to buy a punch or chisel?

One of the most prominent factors that impacts the strength and durability of a punch or chisel is the steel used in its manufacturing. Allpax AX1855 dovetail punches are made from heat treated, high alloy steel, and have a working end that maintains its edge & shape for a long duration of time. They feature a hard striking end that can be struck without chipping or cracking. Before making your purchase, keep the following points in mind:

  • The diameter, size & shape of the required cuts should be determined by observing what is being cut or driven.
  • If you are working in an environment with sparks, you should choose brass, copper beryllium or aluminium bronze punches and chisels that provide spark resistance.

What things does one need to keep in mind while using Allpax AX1855 dovetail punches with glue?

When glueing or applying RTV to dovetail joints to aid in assembly or positioning, use as little glue / RTV as possible. An excessive amount of glue or RTV will serve as a lubricant between the contacting surfaces, which will likely cause extrusion of the dovetail joint and eventual failure of the sealing.

Why use Allpax AX1855 dovetail punch kit?

It is necessary to have the right punches on hand during maintenance and repair. It is inefficient and impossible to store numerous replacement punches in your inventory. With its ability to cut 3/4 to 3 inch wide flange gaskets, Allpax AX1855 dovetail punch kit can fabricate interlocking dovetail joints where the outside diameter of the gasket is larger than the width of the material to be cut.
