This disc cutter set allows you to punch clean, consistent five-pointed star shapes from non-ferrous metal sheet. The set includes a solid steel die block and five corresponding punches, all machined from tempered, high-carbon tool steel for durable cutting edges.

To use, place your sheet metal (up to 18 gauge) into the die and strike the corresponding punch firmly with a mallet or hammer. The five included punches produce stars in approximate sizes of 8x9 mm, 11x12 mm, 14x15 mm, 17x18 mm, and 20x21 mm. Using a cutting lubricant will prolong the life of the tool.

This tool is used by jewellers and craftspeople to produce uniform components for pendants, charms, earrings, and decorative metalwork.

  • Punches and die block are machined from hardened high-carbon tool steel.
  • Five punches create stars measuring approx. 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 mm point-to-point.
  • Cuts non-ferrous sheet metal such as silver, copper, and brass up to 18 gauge (1.02 mm).
  • The solid steel die block measures approximately 76 x 76 mm (3 x 3 inches).
  • Ideal for creating consistent star-shaped blanks for earrings, pendants, and embellishments.
