Christian Cross Steel Disc Cutter Set, 5 Punches, 7-23 mm, Jewellery Making Tool
Produce clean, repeatable Christian Cross blanks from sheet metal. This disc cutter set includes a solid, hardened carbon steel die block and five matching punches. The components are machined for a close tolerance fit, ensuring crisp edges on your cut pieces.
To operate, place your annealed sheet metal (up to 18 gauge or 1.02 mm) into the die. Insert the desired punch and strike the bevelled end decisively with a brass or nylon mallet. Using a cutting lubricant will extend the life of the cutting edges. The set includes punches for five distinct sizes: 7x10mm, 9x13mm, 10x15mm, 13x19mm, and 15x23mm.
Ideal for jewellers and craftspeople creating pendants, charms, or decorative components for larger pieces. The consistent output makes it suitable for small production runs of religious or gothic-themed jewellery.
