Probably the nose of the punch was too big for the hole so the taper wasn't seating into it. I have four different sized spring loaded punches and a set of about 30 of the other sort which are sized to fit exactly into the hole. Impossible to miss with them.

I tried one of those punches with a beveled end that is supposed to seat in the hinge hole but it made the mark off center as verified by my sighted wife. I threw the damned thing away. Is there anything that works? I mean really works? Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.
