Veritas square hole punches simplify making a square hole up to 3/8" deep in softwood or hardwood, typically for square plugs in decorative work such as Greene & Greene style furniture.
Drill a hole slightly undersize (3/64" smaller than the punch), position the punch over the hole, and with a few hammer taps it cuts the hole square, with smooth walls and 90° corners. Punch tips are machined and ground from hardened O1 tool steel (Rc 48-52) on shanks of softer steel for shock absorption. Shanks have a black-oxide finish to resist rust and are grooved for grip. Made in Canada. A pair of diamond hones for sharpening the punches is available separately.
