Emerald Cut Steel Disc Cutter Set, 4 Punches, 9-29 mm, Jewellery Making Tool
This disc cutter set produces clean, consistent emerald-cut blanks from non-ferrous metal sheet. The block and four punches are machined from high-carbon tool steel, then hardened and tempered to maintain a sharp cutting edge. It provides a reliable method for creating identical shapes for jewellery and craft projects.
To use, select your punch and place your sheet metal (up to 18 gauge or 1.02 mm) in the corresponding slot on the 76 x 76 mm die block. Insert the punch and strike it firmly with a brass or nylon mallet. The set includes four punch sizes (W x L): 9.68 x 20.48 mm, 13.68 x 24.48 mm, 15.68 x 26.48 mm, and 17.34 x 28.14 mm. Using a cutting lubricant will prolong the life of the edges.
This tool is ideal for jewellers producing settings and pendants, silversmiths creating layered components, or model makers who require precise geometric parts from brass and copper sheet.
- Cuts four distinct emerald shapes from non-ferrous sheet metal.
- Punch sizes (W x L): 9.7x20.5, 13.7x24.5, 15.7x26.5, and 17.3x28.1 mm.
