Dog Shape Steel Disc Cutter Set, 4 Punches, 6-26 mm, Jewellery Making Tool
This disc cutter set allows jewellers and craftspeople to produce crisp, clean dog-shaped blanks from sheet metal. The set includes a solid steel die block and four matching punches, all machined from tempered carbon tool steel for repeated use.
The four punches create blanks in distinct sizes: 6.18 x 10.52 mm, 8.41 x 15.34 mm, 11.36 x 19.24 mm, and 15.14 x 25.76 mm. For optimal performance and to preserve the cutting edges, use with a cutting lubricant on non-ferrous metals up to 18 gauge (1.02 mm). Annealing the metal beforehand is also recommended.
Use this set to create unique pendants, charms, earrings, or decorative elements for larger metalwork projects.
