Reduction of galling, snap-back, pick-up or firing;
Easy punch withdrawal through material;
Lubrication-retaining characteristics of the ridges;
Straight shearing and less tonnage required;
Punches holes to size with less stripping pressure;
Reduction of buckling, and retained concentricity of the punch;
Reduced rollover and dimpling on thin material.
