The advantage of time saving devices such as ball and roll lock punches is minimized unless the stripper plate can be removed first. The patented Jergens Kwik-Strip Stripper Bolts provide an inexpensive, simple method of stripper plate removal. The stripper can be removed with the die still mounted in the press! Installation Step 1: Drill a through hole 1/32" larger than the nominal body diameter of the bolt to be used. Step 2: Using a Jergens Drill Jig, drill the auxiliary 1/4" hole. The 1/4" hole may be located radially at any position on the periphery of the body hole. Drill the 1/4" hole slightly deeper than the proposed counterbore. Step 3: Using a standard counterboring tool, counterbore to required depth. See counterbore selection chart for proper size. Step 4: Drill and counterbore the stripper plate for a socket head cap screw. Installation in Existing Dies To convert an existing die for use with Jergens Kwik-Strip Stripper Bolts, simply mill a 1/4" slot down the side of the stripper counterbore, then drill and counterbore the stripper plate. If the same size thread must be maintained, the through hole and counterbore in the punch holder will have to be increased. Disassembly in the Press Block the stripper plate in position, remove the cap screws using a hex wrench, then carefully remove stripper plate. Replace stripper plate after completion of required service. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Kwik-Strip® Stripper Bolts
