Good day everyone.
I am making a set of punches for an air hammer, starting with 3/8" diameter up to 1.50" in 1/8 increments. Could anyone recommend me the best material to use for this job? It needs to hard so it does not mushroom when used, but at the same time not brittle so it doesn't break easily.
I appreciate any insight given.
Thanks.
