212 Pierce & Trim Cutter

A pierce and trim cutter is a type of tool or machine used in various industries, particularly in manufacturing and metalworking. It serves two primary functions: piercing and trimming. Piercing: Piercing involves making a hole or perforation in a material, typically a sheet of metal. This process is commonly used for creating holes that will be used for various purposes, such as fastening components together, allowing for the passage of wires or cables, or forming decorative patterns. A pierce and trim cutter uses a sharp cutting edge to penetrate the material, leaving a hole with a clean edge. Trimming: Trimming, on the other hand, involves cutting or removing excess material from the edges of a workpiece to achieve the desired shape or size. In metalworking, trimming is often used to cut excess material from stamped or formed parts to achieve the final dimensions.
