Depend on Vogel to provide you with the equipment to make your own picket fence panels right in your own shop. We offer two sizes of Channel Piercing Tools to pierce square holes for the horizontal rails of metal fence panels. Each unit is adjustable up to its maximum capacity. Sharpenable punches and dies. Order replacement punches and dies to change the square hole size being pierced.
Our Tube Piercing Tool pierces a square hole through the top and bottom wall of square tubing. By clamping the vertical side walls, this tool confines all deformation to the top wall. When assembling your panel, simply face this side down. Control the stroke of your press to pierce one wall only (or if using a Vogel CSP-25-SA Hydraulic Press, you can order a custom shorter punch that will only travel through one wall).
New: Pierce square tubing with a round hole to insert solid bar or tubing with our THP-R piercing tool. Please see the third illustration in the lower box at left.
Our optional Stop Assembly helps you maintain hole spacing. After you pierce the first hole in your tube or channel, this fully adjustable spring loaded tool will pop up to stop the material to indicate you’re in the right location to pierce the next hole. Feed through any length material. No changeover needed for different material sizes or hole sizes.
Vogel’s tools to pierce square holes can be powered by Vogel’s CSP-25-SA Hydraulic Press.

Two of our tools (CHP35 & CHP75) are only for use with channel. Our THP Tool, although more expensive, is more versatile, as it can be used on both channel and square tubing. Please review the maximum capacity of material that can be used in each tool. If you need to pierce larger material, please contact us to discuss your specific applications.
As long as your material does not exceed the maximum capacity shown you do not need additional tools.
No. As long as your material being pierced and the hole size does not exceed the tool’s maximum capacity, you simply need to purchase additional punch & die sets for each additional size of square hole needed.
This can be accommodated by ordering a rectangular punch and die to allow extra clearance on the left and right side of the picket. The pickets will be able to move freely, meaning you will have to carefully fixture your panel before welding, but this will give you the flexibility to created an angled panel (where pickets pass through horizontal rails on an angle).
Yes. Our THP Tube Pierce Tool does not provide any ID support to the tube. This means that you can pierce any length of tubing. The tube is clamped so the two vertical side walls of the tube cannot bulge out during piercing. The top wall will dimple (deform) inward, however. Most fence panel manufacturers simply face this part of the rail downward when assembling their panels. It is also possible to fill the dimple during welding and grind and polish for high value jobs where appearance is critical.
It’s the question we get asked most. The amount of dimple the THP tool produces is based on many factors, including hole size in relation to tube ID, weld seam location, tube material and gauge, tooling sharpness, press speed, amount & type of lubrication used. For this reason, we cannot estimate the dimple you can expect.
Because the amount of deformation will vary, as described about, we do not provide samples. We do not want to create an expectation of how much deformation will be produced, as you may experience more or less than any samples we might provide.
With these tools, no. If the tools did, you would have no flexibility to change your hole spacing. To pierce multiple holes, you can purchase our Perf-Arc Tools and set-up in a press brake. Your set up will determine hole spacing, and the number of units you purchase will determine how many holes are pierced at one time.
We offer a gauging device that mounts to the CHP or THP tools. It allows for 8″ centers maximum and is easily adjustable for lesser distances. A spring-loaded post drops into the previously pierced hole to control the spacing. The post needs to be changed each time you change your hole size.
If you do not have a press available that meets the press requirements listed, our CSP-25-SA Hydraulic Power Unit can power our CHP / THP tools and can also power our picket forming tool.
