Use in Orthotics & Prosthetics Workshops
Though primarily used in metal fabrication, this center punch set is exceptionally useful in O&P workshops for tasks including:
-
Scribing accurate mark-points on aluminium or stainless-steel adapters and plates prior to drilling.
-
Marking casting boards or vacuum-form models when creating custom brackets or joint plates.
-
Locating rivet holes cleanly in braces (spinal, AFO, KAFO) before punch or drill operations.
-
Pre-marking modifications on prosthetic pylons, foot plates or aluminium shims.
The knurled grip and hardened tip provide reliability when working on both metal and plastic substrates—making the set a high-precision tool to support robust orthotic/prosthetic assembly, repair and customisation.
Why It Matters for Your Workshop
In an O&P environment where accuracy, repeatability and material integrity are critical, the Starrett S117PC helps you:
-
Improve alignment accuracy during modifications or custom brackets.
-
Reduce “wobble” or drift when creating mounting points—ensuring device stability and performance.
-
Maintain a clean, professional fabrication workflow: every mark is precise, every alignment deliberate.
This centre punch set is a valuable addition to any orthotic or prosthetic fabrication bench—ideal for those who require top-tier precision tools to support high-quality device CAD/CAM, composite work, metal bracket fabrication, and assembly.
