#1208 COMBINATION PUNCH – STRUCK SLOT PAN HEAD SCREWS

Universal Punch Corp. | Precision Tooling

#1208 Combination Punch – Struck Slot Pan Head Screws

The #1208 Combination Punch from Universal Punch Corp. is designed for manufacturing pan head screws that incorporate both the 6-Lobe Extra (TXP) internal drive and a struck slot feature. This tooling supports dual-drive fastener production in cold heading operations where consistent recess geometry, slot formation, and head profile control are critical.

Combination punch tooling allows manufacturers to produce fasteners that can be driven by either the TXP recess or a conventional slotted driver, depending on application requirements. The #1208 series is engineered to maintain accurate geometry for both drive features while supporting repeatable performance in high-volume production environments.
