YinTx take them off chuck em up in a drill and use a file, if they arent to hard then a stone.

Members Cumberland Highpower Posted October 12, 2021 Members Report Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) I used to have one just like that but lost it somewhere along the line... Osborne made a very limited number of punches to Government specifications in the past, and those punches used a taper friction fit tube and NOT a screw in type. It looks like yours is of that type from the photo. If you look carefully do they appear to be threaded and screwed in, or pressed in and held by a taper? IF it's a Govt Spec punch, the original owner probably got it for "free" as he probably carried home as contraband, but at $2 you have a GREAT find. When I pointed out that I had this model Osborne punch that didn't take screw in tubes, I was lightly derided here on this forum until an Osborne rep stepped in and noted I had a Govt property punch and detailed how they were different. Now, you might laugh but I lightly sharpened mine on occasion without removing the tubes. I used a brass deburring tool made by Wilson and it can lightly sharpen the inside and outside of your tubes so long as they don't have big chips out of them.
