Flash Sale Lee Valley Square Hole Punches

These tools simplify making a square hole up to 3/8″ deep in softwood or hardwood, typically used to accommodate square plugs in decorative applications such as in Greene & Greene style furniture.

Just drill a hole slightly undersize (3/64″ smaller than the size of the punch) and position the punch over the hole; with a few hammer taps, it cuts the hole square, with smooth walls and 90° corners. Punch tips are machined and ground from hardened O1 tool steel (Rc 48-52) and combined with shanks of softer steel for shock absorption. Shanks have a black-oxide finish to resist rust, and are grooved for grip.

The 3/16″, 1/4″ and 5/16″ sizes measure 2 3/4″ long overall; 3/8″, 7/16″ and 1/2″ sizes are 3 1/16″ long. Available individually or as a set of all six.

Made in Canada.

For easy sharpening of the punches, we offer a pair of diamond hones separately.
