PRECISION DRILL POINT INSPECTION SYSTEM
#9600 Digital Drill Point Web Thickness Gage
For Measuring Self Drilling / Tapping Screw Drill Point Geometry
ISO, DIN, IFI and JIS Standards
The Universal Punch #9600 Digital Drill Point Web Thickness Gage provides a fast, accurate, and repeatable method for measuring the web thickness of drill points on self drilling fasteners.
Specifically designed for use with mechanical or digital indicators, this inspection gage enables manufacturers to verify drill point geometry after forming or sharpening processes.
Maintaining proper web thickness is critical for ensuring:
• Controlled feed pressure
• Proper chip evacuation
• Improved drill performance
• Reduced breakage and tool failure
Portable yet durable, the #9600 system is designed for use in demanding manufacturing and quality inspection environments.
Standard protected precision stroke bearings and repeatable spring force ensure consistent measurement accuracy throughout the entire range of travel.

System Performance
Proper web thickness is critical to maintaining drill performance and preventing failure in self drilling fasteners. Excessively thick drill webs may result in:
- Increased feed pressure
- Poor chip evacuation
- Tool breakage
- Reduced drilling efficiency
Conversely, excessively thin webs may weaken the drill point structure, increasing susceptibility to premature failure. The #9600 Digital Web Thickness Gage provides manufacturers with the ability to inspect and control drill point geometry to ensure consistent performance across production lots.
