About this item

  • Pre-Drilling Tool: A steel punch with a conical tip is used to make an indentation that allows you to drill a hole at the same location, safely without slipping
  • Multi-Purpose steel Punch: This center punch is ideal for efficient and precision punching of hole locations and can be used for marking, punching, stoking, and riveting
  • Working Mechanism: The optical center punch features a 9x acrylic lens magnifier with locating center dot and circle that pinpoints where you want your mark; the steel center punch then replaces the magnifier and is hammered for accurate punching
  • Set Includes: An optical steel punch and an instruction manual


The Fowler 52-500-075 Optical Center Punch guarantees efficient and precision punching of hole locations. This punch has a magnified center dot and circle marking the point for punching, a hardened steel punch that replaces the magnifier on the marked point and then hammered to mark an indentation. This center punch can be used for marking, punching, stoking, and riveting. This product has a 1-year warranty offered by Fowler High Precision.

Natürlich ist das Teil gerade nicht günstig aber ich will nicht mehr ohne dem sein. Entlich werden Bohrungen richtig genau. Zudem hilft der stumpfe Winkel des Körner den Bohrer besser zu „fangen“.Kann ich nur empfehlen!

This is NOT just another centre punch!Most times, scribing intersecting lines and following through with an automatic (sprung loaded) centre punch or a standard centre punch is sufficient to produce a register for a drill point to locate a hole.However, there are occasions when MORE accuracy is required, particularly when multiple holes need to be produced that are in a high tolerance relationship to one another - this is a time when the Fowler 52-500-075-0, 'On-Mark' Optical Center Punch is indispensable!

Great product but not made in USA anymore and it didn't get any cheaper. I don't know how companies are getting away with keeping the same high price but sourcing products from Taiwan and China; that's the case with this item. I expected better from Fowler, next time I'll buy the one that's $50 cheaper that my coworker has because it's identical. Would be 5 stars if USA made.

Tool is unusable, lens insert at the crosshair side was turned so roughly and leave all turning marks after polishing. The lens is cloudy and the image is all in small waves, there is no optical sharpness, it's really hard to see what is going on under the base. I tried to contact Fowler customer support, no answer. Return. Also photos of a product 6 years old, no more lens with "dot in circle" only crosshair.

I've read the other reviews. I can only assume the others received defective products. This works perfectly. Its brought my fabricator game to a whole new level.

The quality is great. Much more precise than lining a traditional center punch up by hand. I don't use it for everything, but when I want to make a precise center punch from scribe lines or by laying a 1:1 scale paper print directly on my workpiece, I sure am glad to have this.

Having never used a tool like this, I was skeptical. Looking at the photo did not make it clear whether or not it would meet my needsFirst time I used it, it became clear..GREAT toolThe lens part really works well at directing ambient light down to the surface. The lens magnifies the target, even for an old dude with bad eyes. Once the target is located, replace the lens with the punch, and punch an accurate point
