For larger characters and deeper marks, the maximum force is approximately lbs. A spring-loaded center punch is often used to mark the center of a point to show the center of a hole when drilling for example. A center punch forms a dimple large enough to direct the tip of the drill to the proper location.

Ever wondered how an Automatic Center Punch works? This article will explain to you the mechanism that create the center punch's ability to impact metal, wood, glass, and ceramic. The design for the Automatic Center Punch first started way back in the late 19th century. The automatic center punch mechanism we will be covering in this article is from the Sweet patent. The hammer mass is spring-loaded from the back of the punch by a large spring.
The spring's preload compression can usually be adjusted by loosening or tightening the end cap at the back-most portion of the punch, to decrease or increase the force of the punch. A stopped hole drilled in the front center portion of the hammer faces the pin acts as a receiver for the pin, and as an anvil for the punch action. The pin provides the automation.
To reset the center punch back to its original position, the pin rod is cocked slightly, so that its resting position is skewed and the pin contacts the hammer mass on the face of the hammer slightly offset to the hammer's stopped hole.
