Why Hougen/Ogura Electro-Hydraulic Hole Punchers?
A Hougen-Ogura hole punch dramatically reduces your hole-making costs over conventional drilling methods.​

  • Time Savings - Ogura/Punch-Pro users have documented increases in productivity over other holemaking methods. One user stated that he had achieved a 75% time savings over the old method of using twist drills.
  • Fast Cycle Times - Punch clean and accurate holes in as little 2.3 seconds. A single trigger actuates the punch while an exclusive auto-return mechanism returns the punch to its starting position.
  • Ease of Handling - Single body light weight construction starting at 17.4 lbs. make these units easy to handle and move with only a single 115V power cord and no separate hydraulics. And operator fatigue is reduced since the Ogura/Punch-Pro does all the work.
  • Accuracy - Ogura/Punch-Pro eliminates the need to pre-drill or pre-punch. To confirm the punch position, simply jog the punch down to the center mark for the hole location. A convenient release valve allows ease of repositioning if required.
  • Less Clean Up - With Ogura/Punch-Pro there is no messy drill debris. You get a clean slug that is easy to handle, with faster cleanups.
  • Punches Last Longer - Twist drill can break easily and dull quickly. When properly cared for, a Ogura/Punch-Pro punch and die set can produce over 1000 holes on average.

General Mag Drill & Annular Cutter Drilling Tips

  • #1 cause of broken or prematurely dull cutters is too slow of feed rate. Slower feed rates will not add life to your cutter but actually reduce the cutter's life. Use firm steady feed pressure throughout cut.
  • Always make sure to clear all chips from your cutter before starting the next hole.
  • Make sure support system for drill arbor is in place and not worn out. If using on a drill press, a support system must be used.
  • For harder material use Hougen's Premium Cutters or Copperhead Carbide Tip Cutters.
  • Make sure mag drill is on a clean work piece and securely attached. Uneven or large build up of debris can cause drill slippage. Material must be at least 3/8" thick. Painted material can also be troublesome if paint buildup does not allow magnet to hold securely.
  • When slug ejection becomes unreliable or tool resists cutting, resharpen or replace your cutter.
  • Always use coolant when drilling. For best results use Hougen's Slick-StikTM or RotaMagicTM cutting lubrication.
  • For best performance always maintain your drill as instructed in your operator's manual.
  • Always observe standard and specific safety instructions.
  • When in doubt, call Hougen Manufacturing's Technical Service (810) 635-7111.
