They are centre punch and prick punch made of high carbon steel , hardened and ground. Centre Punch : The angle of the point is 90° in a centre punch. The punch mark made by this is wide and not very deep. This punch is used for locating centre of the holes . The wide punch mark gives a good seating for starting the drill. (Fig 1a ) Prick Punch/Dot punch : The angle of the prick punch is 30° or 60°. (Fig 1b) The 30° point punch is used for making light punch marks needed to position dividers.
