Roper-Whitney No. 5 JR Punch?

[David Paule]

Does anyone use one of these?

Years ago I found it handier than a drill in some places. Just wondered if people still use them.

Thanks,
Dave

Yep.

But edge distance limits are a pain------

#5 Punch

Yes I use mine all the time. But it only came with fractional punches (3/32", 1/8" etc.) so I have to drill the rivet holes out with #40 and #30 drills anyway.

I still use mine pretty regularly. I have the fractional punches plus a #30 & #40.

Now that would be handy - I see that RW has the #30 punch, but they don't seem to stock a #40 punch.

Is there another source for these?

Thanks!
Dave
