Blanks are the start of half the jobs on a bench — pendant bases, washers, rivet heads, charms. This seven-punch set shears clean round discs from 3mm to 13mm out of silver, copper or brass sheet with a single hammer strike, and the discs make natural stock for doming and dapping work.

The punches are hardened tool steel, ground to shear a clean edge rather than tear one. The two-part die block is held by two hex-head bolts for easy maintenance, and a side slot lets you tip finished discs out without dismantling anything.

  • Cuts seven distinct round disc sizes from 3mm up to 13mm.
  • Punches are machined from hardened tool steel for shearing clean edges.
  • The two-part steel die block is secured with two hex-head bolts for maintenance.
  • A side-access slot allows cut discs to be easily removed from the die.
  • Suitable for cutting non-ferrous sheet metal such as silver, copper, and brass.

Common questions at the bench

What metal and thickness can it cut?
Check this product's description for the metals and any maximum thickness it gives, and stay within them. If it gives none, keep to thin, soft, non-ferrous sheet. Cutting sheet that is harder or thicker than the cutter is made for can chip or blunt the punches and the die.
How do I cut a clean blank?
Stand the cutter on a solid, flat surface such as a steel bench block and check the sheet lies flat where it should. Set the punch with its cutting end to the metal and strike it squarely and firmly with a hammer, or a mallet with a hard face; a nylon, wooden or rubber face can be dented by the punch. One firm, square blow gives a cleaner edge than several light or glancing ones.
Will the blank need finishing?
Check each blank. Smooth any burr or sharp edge with a file or fine abrasive paper before the piece is worn or finished, and if a blank has bowed slightly in the cut, flatten it with a mallet on a bench block.
How should I look after it?
Use it only on the sheet it is made for, wipe the punches and die clean after use and store them dry, with the cutting edges kept from knocking against other tools. If a punch sticks, tap it back out straight rather than levering or twisting it.
