Teddy Bear Steel Disc Cutter Set, 4 Punches, 12-26 mm, Jewellery Making Tool
This disc cutter set produces clean, repeatable teddy bear shapes from soft metal sheet. The set includes a solid steel die block and four matching punches, all machined from hardened and tempered carbon tool steel for durability and edge retention. The block's weight provides a stable base for accurate striking.
To use, place your annealed metal sheet (up to 18 gauge / 1.02mm) into the die and insert the corresponding punch. A firm strike with a brass hammer will shear a clean blank. The four specific punch sizes are: 12.97 x 13.33mm, 15.84 x 16.21mm, 19.59 x 20.12mm, and 25.24 x 25.82mm. Using a cutting lubricant like Bur-Life will extend the life of the cutting edges.
This tool is suited for jewellers creating charms and pendants, crafters making decorative embellishments, or model makers fabricating custom parts from brass and copper sheet.
