What are dovetail punches?
Allpax dovetail punches are designed for quickly and easily making tight, interlocking joints for a gasket of any flange width. Dovetail joints offer superior tensile strength owing to their trapezoidal shaped pins & tails that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. This enhances the quality and workmanship of a structure or piece of furniture. In comparison to a series of nails or screws, the angles of the pins & tails are much more effective at providing structural strength.
These dovetail punches feature a tongue and groove design that fits tightly together, thus creating an interlocking joint between two pieces that resist being pulled apart in any direction, except one. This dovetail interlock guarantees a comfortable fit before compression. As soon as the gasket is under compression, the interlock seizes, eliminating any possible leak paths.

Made from durable & heat treated alloy steel, these Allpax dovetail punches have a finely honed cutting edge. As a result, the operator can extend the use of scrap by forming large pieces from smaller ones. Allpax dovetail punches also reduce labour cost by easily making only one cut without pre measuring, marking or scoring. They are capable of handling gaskets with thicknesses ranging from 3/4 to 3 inches. They have an open view design, so guesswork can be eliminated, since a clear view is available at all times, and waste of costly gasket materials can be significantly reduced. Allpax dovetail punches come with a padded rubber grip to offer maximum comfort during continuous operations. The operator can also use more than one piece of gasket material by dovetailing the pieces together.
