I have this Whitney punch:

and I would like to know what dies go with it. Does anyone have a
similar punch and would you know what dies are needed. Thanks

I'm fairly sure that takes the same punch/die combo as my smaller
Whitney hand punch. Remove the punch/die, if the die is 3/4 dia and the
mounting shank on the punch is 5/16, then these are your dies:

MSC carries a fairly good selection of them. I used to have a catalog
around here somewhere that had square, rectangle, and oblong sets too.

to answer this question correctly, go to the company's web site, and look up
your exact punch, it will tell you what dies fit it and provide a form for
ordering them

Thanks. Your pick was spot on.

I think that I finally figured it out. This is a "No. 8-2 punch" and
Roper Whitney has punch/die sets available for $19 per set, which
strikes me as reasonable.

I will call them tomorrow to confirm.

This punch is far better than trying to drill sheetmetal.
