Industrial Perforated Lamp/Sconce
Punch a repeating pattern of 3/4-inch conduit trade-size holes into thin steel or stainless sheet to make lamp shades, pendants, or wall sconces. Back the holes with diffusing material for a starry effect, or thread EMT couplings in a few holes as decorative bezels. The hydraulic punch makes clean edges in up to 10 ga steel/12 ga stainless for a pro finish.
Metal Wall Art with Slug Mosaic
Create a geometric wall panel by grid-punching 3/4-inch holes in sheet metal, then repurpose the split slugs as mosaic tiles or ‘studs’ adhered in patterns on a contrasting backing. Backlight the panel so light shines through the holes, adding depth and a modern industrial vibe.
Planters with Built-In Irrigation Ports
Build steel or stainless planter boxes and use the knockout to add clean 3/4-inch pass-throughs for drip lines, drains, or conduit-mounted trellis supports. Fit rubber grommets or bulkhead fittings into the punched holes for tidy, leak-resistant connections.
Workbench/Van Cable Bulkhead Panel
Fabricate a small panel with multiple 3/4-inch trade-size holes to route power cords, air lines, and low-voltage cables through benches, carts, or van partitions. Add bushings or EMT connectors for strain relief and a rugged, organized look.
BBQ/Smoker Vent and Access Plates
Punch precise 3/4-inch vents and probe access points in stainless or mild-steel plates for smokers and grills. Use rotating covers or magnets to open/close vents and insert high-heat grommets for temperature probes through the cleanly punched holes.
