Hi -
I have an application where I need to transfer existing holes in relatively thin sheet metal (about 0.040") to other parts for drilling. I have a nice set of Spellmaco transfer punches, but the sheet metal is so thin that the punch won't align with the hole (in other words, the point on the punch is much taller than the thickness of the sheet metal, making the transfer punches no better than a regular punch).
How should I handle this? I don't have drawings for the sheet metal parts (and, even if I did, I wouldn't trust that the existing holes are actually where they were supposed to be).
Thanks,
Jon
