Come November, angel charms sell in multiples — this set lets you punch them in batches rather than saw each one out. Three graduated punches produce blanks 17.7 mm, 23.3 mm and 27.7 mm wide (17.7 × 19.43 mm, 23.26 × 25.55 mm and 27.7 × 30.43 mm in full): matched sets for pendants, charms and seasonal collections.
The 76 mm square die block puts real mass under the strike, and both block and punches are hardened carbon tool steel. Feed it annealed non-ferrous sheet up to 18 gauge (1.02 mm), keep a cutting lubricant to hand, and the edges will stay clean through a full season's production.
- Block and punches are machined from high-grade carbon tool steel.
- Includes three angel-shaped punches: 17.7 mm, 23.3 mm, and 27.7 mm wide.
- Solid steel die block measures 76 x 76 mm (3 x 3 inches).
- Cuts non-ferrous sheet metal up to 18 gauge (approximately 1.02 mm).
- Produces clean, repeatable blanks for pendants, charms, and decorative metalwork.

Common questions at the bench
What metal and thickness can it cut?
Only the non-ferrous sheet metal this product's description names, and no thicker than any gauge or thickness it gives. Do not cut steel or any other ferrous metal: 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?
Anneal (soften) the sheet and put a little cutting lubricant on the punch. Stand the die block on a solid, flat surface, set the sheet in it and seat the punch with its cutting end to the metal. Strike the top of the punch squarely and firmly, with the hammer or mallet this product's description suggests if it names one; 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 block clean after use, oil them lightly 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.
