Morphology
blanking + punch
The headword 'punch' (a tool) is transparent, but 'blanking' is a technical, low-frequency gerund not found in a learner dictionary. A B1 learner might plausibly guess it is a punch that makes 'blanks', but the specific manufacturing sense (used with a blanking die to cut shapes from sheet material) is specialized and not fully predictable without domain knowledge.
Etymology
Blanking punch comes from the simple image of a punch hitting sheet metal to push out a blank, like a cookie cutter cutting a shape from dough. That's why it means 'a punch used with a die to cut out shapes from sheet material'.
