Dimpled Punching is the the most cost-effective process for making holes in parts. Dimpled punching presses a hole without the use of an internal support die. The result is a hole with a dimpled depression that provoides the counter-sinking of a flat or oval head fastener WITHOUT an additional secondary operation.
