Sparkle Star Steel Disc Cutter Set, 4 Punches, 10-24 mm, Jewellery Making Tool
This disc cutter set allows you to punch four distinct 'sparkle star' shapes from non-ferrous metal sheet. The set includes a solid steel die block and four corresponding punches, each made from hardened and tempered carbon tool steel for durability and a clean cut.
The die block measures 3 x 3 inches (76 x 76 mm), providing a stable platform for striking. The four punch sizes are: 10.29 x 13.83 mm, 12.41 x 16.67 mm, 15.9 x 21.37 mm, and 17.65 x 23.73 mm. The system is designed for use with soft metals up to 18 gauge (1.02 mm). For best results and to prolong the life of the cutting edges, we recommend using a cutting lubricant and a soft-faced hammer (such as brass or nylon).
Typical applications include:
- Creating unique pendants and charms for jewellery.
- Producing decorative metalwork elements for craft projects.
- Fabricating custom components for model making.
- Cuts four distinct sparkle star shapes from non-ferrous sheet metal.
- Punch sizes (approx): 10x14 mm, 12x17 mm, 16x21 mm, and 18x24 mm.
