Abstract
An indexable multi-tool for punch presses wherein a plurality of individual punches are held at a singly punching station in a turret-type punch press such that any one of the plurality of punches can be selected upon a rotation of a punch carrier relative to the turret. A striker is carried in the indexable station which does not rotate relative to the turret and which contains an axially extending portion under which the selected punch is positioned in order to be used for punching. Stripper buttons are held on the indexable station by a rotating ring for easy removal and die buttons are held in a die carrier to rotate synchronously with the indexable station.
