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.
Our steel letter, number, and design punches are heat-treated to strike non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine), copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, gold. Striking hardened steel will damage the face. For pewter and very soft alloys, use light strikes.
What size impression do I need?
1–2 mm for ring shanks and small pieces (initials, hallmark-style); 3–4 mm for pendant backs and signed plaques; 5 mm+ for presentation pieces and stamped jewellery components. Bigger is not always better — a clean small mark reads better than a struggle with an oversized one.
What do I strike it with?
A 1–2 lb brass mallet on a polished steel bench block. Do not use a steel hammer — it will deform the punch over time. One firm strike beats two soft ones for a clean impression.
How do I keep the punch sharp?
Polished punches stay sharp for thousands of strikes if you are hitting cleanly on a flat block. If the face starts blurring impressions, polish lightly with 600-grit emery, then a buffing mop on a polishing motor. Replace before the face deforms further.
