Square Steel Disc Cutter Set, 7 Punches, 6-16 mm, Jewellery Making Tool
This disc cutter set produces clean, consistent square blanks from non-ferrous sheet metal. The die block and seven matching punches are machined from hardened, tempered high-carbon tool steel for durability and a sharp cutting edge.
To use, place your annealed sheet metal (up to 18 gauge) into the die block. Insert the corresponding punch into the slot and strike its beveled end firmly with a brass hammer. The set includes punches for creating squares of 6x6, 8x8, 9x9, 11x11, 13x13, 15x15, and 16x16 mm. Applying a suitable cutting oil will improve the cut quality and prolong the life of the cutting edges.
This tool is typically used by jewellers for creating bezels and decorative elements, model makers fabricating precise components, or crafters producing custom tags and blanks for enamelling.
