Maple Leaf Steel Disc Cutter Set, 3 Punches, 13-25 mm, Jewellery Making Tool
This disc cutter set produces clean, repeatable maple leaf shapes from sheet metal. The set includes a solid 64 x 89 mm die block and three corresponding punches, all machined from hardened and tempered tool steel for durability and edge retention.
To operate, place your annealed non-ferrous metal sheet (up to 18 gauge or 1.02 mm) into the die. Select your punch—24.71 mm, 21.61 mm, or 18.25 mm tall—and insert it into the matching slot. A firm strike with a brass hammer will shear a precise blank. We recommend using a cutting lubricant to ensure a clean cut and extend the tool's life.
Ideal for creating consistent components for jewellery such as pendants and earrings, or for adding detailed metalwork to models and craft projects.
- Cuts three distinct maple leaf blanks from non-ferrous sheet metal up to 18 gauge.
