Stay Compliant. Stay Profitable.

As of January 2026, the transition to the MUTCD 11th Edition is the new legal standard for road and traffic signage. Whether you are producing standard regulatory signs or the surging volume of new EV Charging Station markers, your edges must meet federal radius specifications.

Punch Tools provides the industry’s most versatile solution for sign shops: the 4-Way Rotatable MUTCD Corner Rounder. Designed to integrate seamlessly with our Porta Press or your existing shop equipment, this tool allows you to switch between all four DOT-required radii in seconds—no downtime, no complex tool changes.

Key Specifications & 2026 Updates:

• The "All-in-One" 4-Way Die: Includes the essential radii for 11th Edition compliance: 1.5", 1.875", 2.25", and 3". We can manufacture any radii from 0.5" up to 5".

• EV Infrastructure Ready: Optimized for the new D9-11 series (Electric Vehicle Charging) signage and standard parking/regulatory plates.

• Extreme Precision: Holds tolerances to +/- .0005", ensuring every sign passes DOT inspection without burrs or deviations.

• Material Capacity: Effortlessly punches through 1/8" (0.125") Aluminum, 6mm ACM, and a wide variety of other materials. If you are unsure about your specific material, just ask us—we are happy to help!

• The Porta Press Advantage: Use it as a benchtop unit or take it on-site for custom retrofitting and repairs.
