ABSTRACT:
A punch assembly including a punch member having first and second ends, a punching end on the first end of the punch member, an adjustable head on the second end of the punch member, a shoulder on the punch member intermediate the first and second ends, a punch retainer member including a shoulder engaging portion adjacent the shoulder for effectively engaging the shoulder, a stripper spring between the punch retainer member and the adjustable head, retainer shims between the shoulder engaging portion and the shoulder, and a counterbore in the punch retainer member for receiving the retainer shims, the counterbore being of a diameter which is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the retainer shims. By the use of the retainer shims, the distance between a reference point on the retainer member and the end of the punch may be maintained the same even after sharpening, with the adjustable head being adjustable to maintain the overall length of the punch assembly the same after sharpening. The retainer shims are installed without requiring disassembly of the punch assembly by merely driving the retainer shims over the punching end of the punch assembly until they seat on a reduced central portion proximate the shoulder.
