What Is Turret Punching?
Turret punching is the process of using a CNC-controlled turret punch machine to create precise holes, slots, cut-outs, and formed features in sheet metal. The machine uses a rotating turret loaded with multiple turret punch tools, allowing rapid tool changes and efficient processing without stopping production.
As a fabrication method, turret punching is ideal for projects requiring:
- High repeatability
- Tight tolerances
- Consistent part quality
- Cost-effective production at scale
Compared to traditional cutting methods, a CNC turret punch delivers speed and accuracy while maintaining flexibility for custom designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is turret punching, and how does it work?
Turret punching is a manufacturing process that uses a turret punch machine to create holes, slots, and shapes in sheet metal. A rotating turret holds a variety of tools that can be quickly switched during operation, enabling the efficient punching of complex patterns without interrupting the machine’s operation.
What’s the difference between laser cutting and turret punching?
While both are used for cutting metal, laser cutting uses a high-powered beam to melt or vaporise material. In contrast, turret punching uses mechanical force to punch shapes into the metal. Turret punching is generally faster for high-volume jobs with repetitive shapes, and it is ideal for forming features such as louvres or embossing.
At KNS Metals, we’re both laser & turret punching specialists, so we can recommend the right method for your project.
What materials can your CNC turret punching machines handle?
Our CNC turret punching machines can process a wide range of materials, including mild steel (up to 3 mm), aluminium (up to 4 mm), stainless steel (up to 2 mm), and galvanised or zinc-coated sheet metal (up to 3 mm). We can accommodate sheet sizes up to 1500mm by 3600mm, with repositioning.
Is CNC turret punching suitable for custom or low-volume jobs?
Yes. While CNC turret punching is highly efficient for large production runs, it’s also ideal for custom sheet metal fabrication. Our setup enables rapid tool changes and minimises waste, making it a cost-effective option for both low-volume and high-volume manufacturing.
Do you offer turret punching services in Perth?
Absolutely. KNS Metals is based in Dandenong and provides professional turret punching services across Perth. Whether you need a one-off part or full production support, our team is equipped with advanced CNC turret punches and ready to assist with precision, speed, and locally based expertise.
What types of products are best suited to turret punching?
Turret punching is ideal for sheet metal components that require repeated hole patterns, cut-outs, or formed features. Common products include electrical enclosures, ventilation panels, brackets, mounting plates, control panels, and architectural sheet metal parts. Using a CNC turret punch ensures consistency across every component.
Can turret punching be combined with laser cutting?
Yes. As laser & turret punching specialists, we regularly combine laser cutting and turret punching within the same project. Laser cutting is often used for complex outer profiles, while turret punching is ideal for repetitive internal features, formed details, and high-volume production.
What thickness of material is best for turret punching?
Turret punching is most effective for thin to medium-gauge sheet metal. Material thickness depends on the metal type and tooling used, but turret punching services are typically ideal for projects where speed, repeatability, and cost efficiency are priorities.
Do you provide forming and embossing with turret punching?
Yes. Using specialised turret punch tooling, we can create formed features such as louvres, knock-outs, countersinks, and embossed details directly during the punching process. This reduces the need for secondary operations and improves production efficiency.
How accurate is CNC turret punching?
Our turret punch machine systems deliver high levels of accuracy and repeatability. With CNC control and precision turret punch tools, we achieve consistent results across both small and large production runs, ensuring every part meets specification.
Is turret punching suitable for high-volume manufacturing?
Absolutely. Turret punching services are specifically suited to high-volume production where consistent shapes and patterns are required. The speed of a CNC turret punch and rapid tool changes make it one of the most cost-effective methods for repeat manufacturing.
