Knock Out Block (D1)

ALUMINUM KNOCK-OUT BLOCK. Holes range in size from 3/16" to 1/2". Fabricated from sturdy 1/8" aluminum with a more than adequate 2 3/8" clearance below the top surface for your nib and feed to drop out. When using the knock-out blocks listed below, remember to lubricate the section and feed, preferably by running it through an ultrasonic cleaner for a few minutes or soaking it in water if you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, and then heat it up with a heat source of about 150° Fahrenheit before trying to remove a feed and nib. Those two steps help a lot. Feeds are brittle and tend to be pressed in and glued in by old, dried ink.

We also sell a hollow punch (tool D16P) and the perfect sized hammer to go with our knock out block.
