OT : Help - very specific tool required
My friend has what I believe is known as an "Auto centre punch". It doesn't require a hammer to make the punched hole. I have a very specific requirement for punching single holes through pieces of rubber. The diameter of the hole is not important - as long as I can make the hole very quickly with the minimum of fuss. Something like : apply tool to rubber item - press hard - hole made. Does the team think that an "Auto centre punch" would do the job? Do you think I could sharpen the point to make it more needle like - but it still do its job. I don't want to use it just once or twice; but need to use it on a very regular basis. (Apologies for making the post in the cycling newsgroup - but I know that some people here have many good ideas - much lateral thinking) |

A dart on the end of a stick would probably do what you require. |

Don't tyre retailers often have a long, thin, sharp but tube-type implement which they use to stab old tyres in order to deflate them before removing for replacement and scrapping? I expect it would work more easily (and with less effort) with some sorts of tyre than it would with others. |

When you say punch do you need to have a section of rubber removed leaving a circular measurable hole or do you just need a stab wound like a puncture? Different tools would be required for each. -- ennemm |
