Abstract
A punch holder is described having a stripper arrangement composed of an annular array of nested coil springs housed within a series of aligned facing bores in a punch holder tang and punch holder body to generate a high stripping force in a compact space. A threaded removal ring is employed to force a press fitted stripper cap off the end of the punch holder body. A support ring can be employed to support the stripping cap for small sized punches, or a metal reinforcement molded into the stripper cap.
