VELSE Hand Held Punches

VELSE Hand Held Punches are individual hardened steel marking punches manufactured by Max Machine Tools under the VELSE brand. Each punch carries one character and is struck by a hammer to create a permanent impression on the component surface. Engineered from customer feedback on the wear and consistency limitations of standard punches in Indian industrial use.

VELSE Hand Held Punches are manufactured from D3 tool steel - a high carbon, high chromium cold work tool steel with superior wear resistance. The practical advantage is measurable - VELSE punches can mark on harder surfaces up to 40 HRc compared to the 35-38 HRc limit of standard D2 or tool steel punches. This gives buyers more capability on hardened components without needing to step up to a more expensive marking method.

Standard punches have a solid face creating a clean filled impression. Dotted (Low Stress) punches have a dotted face that reduces stress concentration on the marked surface - ideal for hardened or stress-sensitive components. Reverse punches carry a mirror-image character for forging dies, die casting dies and rubber moulds where the mark must read correctly on the finished part.

VELSE punches are manufactured from D3 tool steel which has higher carbon and chromium content than the D2 or standard tool steel used by most other punch manufacturers. This results in better edge retention under repeated impact, longer punch life and the ability to mark on harder surfaces. VELSE was also developed specifically from customer feedback on what existing punches in the market were failing to deliver.

VELSE Hand Held Punches mark on steels, castings, forgings, aluminium, brass and hard surfaces up to 40 HRc - a harder surface capability than standard punches, making them suitable for a wider range of hardened component marking requirements.
