Spinning Top Steel Disc Cutter Set, 4 Punches, 10-25 mm, Jewellery Making Tool
This disc cutter set produces clean, repeatable spinning-top shapes from non-ferrous metal sheet. The set includes a solid steel die block and four matching punches, all machined from hardened and tempered tool steel to maintain a sharp cutting edge.
To operate, slide your metal sheet (up to 18 gauge / 1.02 mm) into the die block, position the corresponding punch into the aperture, and strike it firmly with a brass or nylon mallet. Using a suitable cutting lubricant will ensure a cleaner cut, reduce burrs, and prolong the life of the punches.
This tool is used by jewellers and metal crafters to create components for pendants, unique earring drops, and other decorative elements from silver, gold, copper, and brass sheet.
