[Cialug] OT: Punch down block

[Daniel E Sloan]

It's probably a 630 punch down  (as opposed to 110 or 66)

Does it look like this: http://www.hookandhanger.com/630-Style-Punchdown-Blade-p/pl13003c.htm


My guess is a 110 punch is going to break something...If you're using a standard Harris/Paladin/Fluke punch there are 630 blades available.

Another common punch down would be Krone.

Yep they seem to have been designed this way. I can't seem to focus in enough to get a clear photo. If they were not at the anlge the whole thing would otherwise look like a normal block.

Are you sure that they are angled on purpose?  Can you post a photo somewhere?
