The JFY Type B Station RE14X16, SQ10 and SQ13 Thin Turret Shaped Punch Tooling is a group of precision rectangular and square punches developed for compatible thin turret punch presses using JFY-style B Station tooling configurations.

The three tooling specifications include:

RE14X16: rectangular punch profile measuring 14 × 16 mm
SQ10: square punch profile measuring 10 × 10 mm
SQ13: square punch profile measuring 13 × 13 mm

In these tooling designations, “RE” identifies a rectangular profile, while “SQ” identifies a square profile. The numbers following the shape code indicate the nominal punch dimensions in millimeters.

Unlike round tooling, rectangular and square punches have a defined angular direction. The punch, guide and matching lower die must therefore be manufactured and installed with consistent orientation. WYS Machinery can customize the locating-pin or indexing position according to the required hole direction, machine configuration and finished-part drawing.

The punches shown feature a threaded stem and locating structure designed for compatible thin turret tooling assemblies. Accurate positioning of the shaped cutting section helps maintain the required orientation during installation and operation.

The cutting punches can be manufactured from M2 high-speed steel for cutting-edge toughness, wear resistance and reliable performance under repeated impact. Matching lower dies can be manufactured from DC53 tool steel to provide compressive strength, dimensional stability and resistance to edge chipping. Working components can be heat-treated to approximately HRC 58–60.

The actual lower-die opening is larger than the nominal punch profile because the required punch-to-die clearance must be included. Clearance is manufactured according to the customer’s sheet material, thickness, strength and required cut quality.

Complete punch-and-die sets or individual replacement components can be supplied. Optional TiN and TiCN coatings are available for stainless steel, higher-strength sheet materials and demanding production conditions.

This tooling is manufactured by WYS Machinery as compatible replacement tooling. References to JFY describe the applicable machine and tooling configuration and do not imply original manufacture, authorization or official affiliation.

RE14X16 Rectangular Punch Tooling

RE14X16 is the tooling designation for a rectangular punch with nominal dimensions of 14 × 16 mm. Because its two sides have different lengths, the profile has a clearly defined installation direction.

The rectangular punch can produce the complete 14 × 16 mm opening in a single stroke when the sheet material, thickness and machine capacity are suitable.

Typical RE14X16 applications include:

Rectangular mounting openings
Electrical component interfaces
Connector openings
Tab insertion holes
Anti-rotation assembly features
Cable and component slots
Locating openings
Functional sheet metal cutouts

The 14 mm and 16 mm sides must be positioned correctly according to the finished-part drawing. Rotating the tool by 90° changes the orientation of the finished rectangular hole.

SQ10 Square Punch Tooling

SQ10 identifies a square punch with a nominal side length of 10 mm. It is designed to produce a 10 × 10 mm square opening.

Typical SQ10 applications include:

Square fastener holes
Anti-rotation holes
Small mounting openings
Electrical panel features
Ventilation patterns
Tab insertion openings
Locating and assembly features
Decorative square or diamond-shaped patterns

Although all four sides are equal, SQ10 still has a defined angular orientation relative to the machine axes. The tooling can be manufactured for the required hole direction according to the customer’s drawing.

SQ13 Square Punch Tooling

SQ13 identifies a square punch with a nominal side length of 13 mm. Compared with SQ10, it provides a larger square opening for mounting, assembly and component-clearance applications.

Typical SQ13 applications include:

Larger square fastener openings
Electrical and mechanical component mounting holes
Anti-rotation interfaces
Equipment-panel openings
Cabinet and enclosure features
Ventilation patterns
Assembly slots and locating features
Square or diamond-oriented decorative holes

SQ13 and SQ10 are different sizes and require corresponding lower dies. Their punches and dies are not interchangeable.

Shaped Tooling Orientation

Rectangular and square profiles require more careful orientation control than round profiles.

RE14X16 Orientation

RE14X16 has unequal side lengths. The 14 mm side and 16 mm side must be aligned according to the finished-part drawing. An incorrect 90° installation will produce a hole with the long and short sides in the wrong direction.

SQ10 and SQ13 Orientation

Square profiles retain the same dimensions when rotated by 90°, but their relationship to the machine axes changes when rotated by 45°. Depending on the required component design, the square opening may be aligned with the panel edges or presented as a diamond-shaped opening.

The required orientation can be established through the locating-pin or indexing position during tooling manufacture.

Customers should provide:

Required hole direction
Machine manufacturer and model
Existing tooling configuration
Sheet-feeding direction
Finished-part drawing
Existing punch sample or dimensions, if available

The punch and matching lower die must use the same orientation.

Matching Punch and Lower Die

Each shaped punch must be paired with a lower die having:

The corresponding profile
The correct nominal dimensions
Matching angular orientation
Suitable punch-to-die clearance
Compatible station and mounting dimensions

Incorrect punch-and-die matching may cause:

Punch and die interference
Corner chipping
Uneven clearance
Excessive burr formation
Poor hole dimensions
Damage to the punch, die or guide
Premature tool failure

The tooling orientation and clearance should be confirmed before the first production stroke.

Customized Die Clearance

The lower-die opening includes the required clearance and is therefore not exactly the same size as the nominal punch profile.

Clearance selection depends on:

Sheet material
Sheet thickness
Material tensile or shear strength
Required edge quality
Acceptable burr height
Punching frequency
Lubrication
Tool coating
Machine alignment
Production requirements

Correct clearance is especially important for rectangular and square tooling because cutting loads can concentrate around the corners.

Suitable clearance helps:

Reduce excessive punching force
Control burr formation
Improve fracture consistency
Reduce corner chipping
Improve slug release
Extend punch and die service life
Maintain more consistent hole dimensions

Corner Strength and Wear Control

Rectangular and square punches contain sharp or controlled-radius corners where cutting loads may become concentrated. These areas should be inspected more frequently than the continuous cutting edge of a round punch.

Factors affecting corner life include:

Sheet strength
Sheet thickness
Punch-to-die clearance
Corner geometry
Punch material
Heat-treatment quality
Machine alignment
Material adhesion
Lubrication
Punching frequency

Regrinding should be performed before excessive edge rounding or corner damage affects the finished hole.

Optional TiN and TiCN Coatings

TiN Coating

TiN provides a hard, low-friction surface that can help reduce material adhesion and general cutting-edge wear. It is suitable for many mild steel and general sheet metal applications.

Potential benefits include:

Reduced friction
Lower material pickup
Improved wear resistance
Longer maintenance intervals under suitable conditions

TiCN Coating

TiCN provides higher hardness and improved resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear. It may be recommended for stainless steel, higher-strength sheet material and demanding production volumes.

Coating selection should consider the sheet material, thickness, production quantity, lubrication and expected wear mechanism.

Typical Applications

The RE14X16, SQ10 and SQ13 B Station thin turret tooling can be used in the production of:

Electrical cabinets and control enclosures
Switchgear and distribution equipment
Electronic equipment housings
Sheet metal mounting plates
HVAC and ventilation components
Communication equipment panels
Machinery guards and protective covers
Automotive sheet metal components
Metal furniture and storage systems
Stainless steel equipment
Industrial control panels
General precision sheet metal products

Typical functions include:

Rectangular component openings
Square fastener holes
Anti-rotation holes
Connector and cable interfaces
Mounting features
Locating openings
Tab insertion holes
Repeated ventilation patterns
Decorative square or diamond patterns

Typical Hits Before Regrinding

Sheet Material	General Reference Before Regrinding
Stainless Steel	Approximately 300,000 hits
Mild Steel	Approximately 500,000 hits

These are general reference figures rather than guaranteed limits. Actual regrinding intervals depend on:

Tool profile and corner geometry
Sheet material and thickness
Material strength
Punch-to-die clearance
Lubrication
Machine alignment
Tool coating
Punching speed
Tool maintenance

The corners of RE14X16, SQ10 and SQ13 punches should be inspected regularly because localized corner wear may affect hole quality before substantial wear appears along the straight cutting edges.

Typical Tool Service Life

Tool Profile	General Reference Service Life
Round Tooling	Approximately 800,000 hits
Shaped Tooling	Approximately 600,000–700,000 hits
RE14X16, SQ10 and SQ13	Refer to the Shaped Tooling Range

These three specifications are classified as shaped tooling. Actual service life depends on the complete punch-and-die combination, processed material, die clearance, coating, alignment and maintenance.

Thin Turret Tooling Compatibility

Thin turret and thick turret tooling use different body structures, mounting interfaces and guide systems. A B Station thin turret tool is not automatically interchangeable with B Station thick turret tooling, even if both tools use the same cutting profile.

Compatibility should be confirmed using:

Punch press manufacturer
Exact machine model
Existing tooling series
Station dimensions
Punch-body dimensions
Threaded-stem dimensions
Guide and retaining structure
Locating-pin position
Lower-die dimensions
Existing tooling sample or technical drawing

WYS Machinery can manufacture compatible replacement tooling after checking the customer’s machine and existing tooling information.

Manufacturing Quality

The punches and matching lower dies are manufactured using selected tool steels, controlled heat treatment, precision machining and finish-grinding processes.

Quality inspection can include:

Rectangular and square profile measurement
Side-length measurement
Corner-geometry inspection
Cutting-edge straightness inspection
Angular-orientation verification
Locating-pin position inspection
Punch-body concentricity checking
Thread-dimension inspection
Lower-die opening measurement
Customized-clearance verification
Working-hardness testing
Assembly and movement testing

Accurate control of the profile, corners and installation direction helps produce consistent shaped holes while reducing uneven wear and corner damage.

Installation and Maintenance

Before installation:

Confirm whether the tool is RE14X16, SQ10 or SQ13
Verify that the punch and lower die are a matching set
Confirm the required installation direction
Check the locating-pin position
Confirm compatibility with the machine and B Station
Verify the sheet material and thickness
Confirm the lower-die clearance
