kalaiselt,

Welcome to CR4, I guess it was you, as guest, who asked the same question earlier.

As answered before, your country would be useful, also these things are available in any good hardware supplier in most countries.

It is a standard but valid answer; Google it for yourself first.

punches letter got 10,800,000 hits. Surely you could find something there.

Check out Columbia Marking Tool in Michigan.

I have used them in the past and had great results.

Graingers, McMaster-Carr, MSC, Travers or just about any mill supply house in your area. Steel punches are a very common item.

Hello kalaiselt:,

You may have already got these from previous advice. But for future ref' it helps a great deal to say at least what country you are in.

I did not read any of the post apart from your question so forgive me if this info' has been sent in..

It is just, that if you are in India it would make no sense to list US manufacturers? Cos' the product would be less than the shipping?

No offence OK?
