Punch and die clearance refers to the gap between the cutting edge of the punch and the corresponding edge of the die in a press tool. This clearance is carefully calculated based on the material thickness, type, and the desired quality of the finished part. Proper clearance ensures efficient shearing during the punching process, minimizes wear on tooling, and reduces the risk of defects like burrs, distortion, or premature tool failure.
