Wikipedia
center punch
A punch is a tool used to indent or create a hole through a hard surface. They usually consist of a hard metal rod with a narrow tip at one end and a broad flat "butt" at the other. When used, the narrower end is pointed against a target surface and the broad end is then struck with a hammer or mallet, causing the blunt force of the blow to be transmitted down the rod body and focused more sharply onto a small area. Typically, woodworkers use a ball-peen hammer to strike a punch.

center punch
A center punch is a hand tool used in metalworking to create a dimple or mark the center point to guide the placement of a drill bit for drilling holes. It ensures the drill bit does not slip and drills accurately by providing a starting point. Usually made of hardened steel, a center punch is struck with a hammer to create the indentations.
