Hexagon Steel Disc Cutter Set, 6 Punches, 6-25 mm, Jewellery Making Tool
This disc cutter set enables you to punch clean, consistent hexagon shapes from non-ferrous sheet metal. The kit comprises a solid steel die block and six corresponding punches, precision-ground from tempered high-carbon tool steel for reliable, repeatable cuts.
The six punch sizes are: 6x7mm, 10x12mm, 13x15mm, 16x18mm, 19x22mm, and 22x25mm. For best results and to prolong the life of the cutting edges, use a suitable cutting lubricant and work with annealed metal. The tool is designed for use with a mallet or hammer on a solid, stable surface like a bench block. Note: The tool is supplied with a light oil coating; minor surface discolouration from storage is possible and does not affect performance.
Use this set for creating geometric pendants and earrings, fabricating custom parts for models, or producing uniform metal blanks for enamelling and stamping projects.
- Cuts six distinct hexagon sizes from 6x7mm up to 22x25mm in soft metals.
- Includes six punches and a matching 76mm (3-inch) square hardened steel die block.
- Manufactured from tempered high-carbon tool steel for durable cutting edges.
