Metal Punching
CNC turret punching is a metal fabrication process that uses a rotating automated turret to punch holes in a metal sheet to prepare it for later production steps. By swapping out the punch tool, the operator can create holes of various shapes and sizes, including custom pieces.
Precision CNC punching is well-suited to high-volume projects because it maximizes speed without sacrificing quality. It’s not typically a cost-effective choice for small runs due to the tooling costs involved.

Shaping Steel’s Turret Punching Capabilities
Some of the many benefits of our CNC turret punching services include:
Proper alignment
Misalignment between stock tooling and hole sizes can lead to excessive burr and slug pulling when the punch withdraws, reducing piece quality and increasing the risk of defects.

Reduced complexity
The more complex your design, the longer and more costly your project becomes. We simplify your curves for you so you can get the parts you need without having to spend any extra time or money.
Chamfered corners
Using chamfered corners instead of arcs refines the shape of your piece, improving its appearance and functionality.
Uniform holes
Consistency in hole sizing reduces the chances of defects, so you can rest assured your pieces will match your specifications.
