Abstract
A stripper arrangement for a punch holder which uses an external thread on an end section of the punch holder body to mount either a plastic sleeve press fitted over the external thread or a replaceable steel stripper disc held against the end face of the end section with a steel retainer sleeve threaded onto the external thread. In a first embodiment, a soft tipped set screw secures the steel retainer sleeve. In an alternate embodiment, an O-ring engages the inside of the retainer sleeve to retard unthreading due to vibration, which O-ring also engages the plastic stripper sleeve to augment the friction exerted by the press fit over the external threads.
