Sure is! I use transfer punches just about every time I do something in the shop. There's a million uses for them -- particularly when doing stuff with old machinery and equipment. I have a big set of them and I also use them as gauges to test hole sizes -- better than drill bits for that.

Jonny:
Theres an easier way to fit up.

Just pick up from any hole in chuck or whatever, without moving it place backing plate register over and drill through.
Mark datum
Will have to keep removing backing plate to pick off for each subsequent hole then replace to drill.
You don't even need to clamp the chuck down just hold and move in to position, that easy.

Sandvik not the best got rid of all mine bar one tool, there are many of same calibre Iscar, Kennametal, seco etc far better that don't make it almost impossible to find the tips and spare parts required. Mind the others not too far behind.
Used to turn the lathe tools down with Kennametal NSR2020K3 with NR48R tips or just NB4R K68 tips clamped in tool holder. Just found a Sandvik hack sawed down the length to reduce height, theyre softish.

micktoon:
Good post John , the photos are spot on for being taken from a video  :thumbup: , it will be interesting to see how firm the mag chuck can hold things, should be a handy addition to your tooling.
  Cheers Mick.
