Abstract

A punch is disclosed having a hollow removable blade for punching an opening in a sheet of cardboard or other similar material. The blade has a beveled cutting edge about an inlet end. The diameter of the blade increases from the inlet end to the outlet end to prevent the slugs from becoming compacted in the blade.
