GUILLET Tungsten Carbide Tipped Punch for Marble Granite and Sandstone. Points with flat tip. 12.7 x 55mm shank (1/2") for pneumatic air gun tools.
GUILLET Tungsten Carbide Tipped Masonry Punch (2173)
Take control of rapid stock reduction, precision fracturing, and initial block dressing with the GUILLET Tungsten Carbide Tipped Masonry Punch For Marble And Granite (Model: 2173), available across Australia through DIAMACH. Forged in France by legendary stone-tool innovators Guillet—manufacturing industry-leading masonry gear since 1643—this premium flat-tip punch is custom-built for professional monumental masons, commercial sculptors, and stone artisans working with tough marble, granite, and sandstone.
The primary operational advantage of the 2173 model is its heavy-duty 12.7mm x 55mm pneumatic shank (1/2" configuration). Engineered to slot directly into professional pneumatic air hammers, this specialized backend converts high-frequency compressed air pulses into fluid, rapid striking action. By transitioning the labor from manual hammers to mechanical air tools, it drastically slashes continuous physical exertion, prevents wrist strain, and accelerates production workflows on large architectural projects or extensive stone carving contracts.
Equipped with a sturdy 14mm diameter cylindrical body extending to an ergonomic 210mm overall length, this masonry punch provides exceptional balance and handling control. The high-performance business end features a premium Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) flat-point geometry. Unlike steel punches that blunt or deform instantly under pneumatic force, this specialized carbide tip concentrates the air hammer's kinetic energy straight into dense minerals, delivering high-impact fractures exactly where you need them without slipping or glancing.
Why Choose the Guillet 2173 Pneumatic Punch from DIAMACH?
• High-Efficiency Pneumatic Shank: The 12.7mm x 55mm (1/2") connection integrates natively with professional air stone hammers to streamline high-production workloads.
• Premium Flat-Tip Carbide Point: Industrial-grade TCT flat tip is specifically formulated to resist structural fracture and glazing when driven repeatedly into abrasive granite and marble.
• Rigid 14mm Body Geometry: Perfectly balanced 14mm cylindrical body naturally diffuses intense percussive shock waves, safeguarding tradespeople from repetitive strain.
• Optimized 210mm Length: Offers excellent reach and visibility for clearing flat surfaces, chasing guidelines, and roughing out deep stone recesses.
• Authentic European Tooling Legacy: Manufactured by Guillet in France to precise industrial tolerances, distributed and supported across Australia by DIAMACH.
Professional Pneumatic Punching Tip
• Avoid Prying Under Load: When roughing out large sections of granite or hard marble with a pneumatic punch, always allow the high-frequency vibration of the air hammer to fracture and shear the stone naturally. Never use the 14mm body as a manual pry bar while the air tool is cycling. Applying severe lateral prying pressure while under percussive stress can fracture the silver-brazed joint holding the tungsten carbide insert, damaging your tool prematur
