Made for pet-themed work: this set punches crisp dog-silhouette blanks in four graduated sizes — 6.18 × 10.52 mm up to 15.14 × 25.76 mm — so a charm, its matching earrings and a larger pendant can all share exactly the same outline. Strike once and the blank is ready for edge-finishing and a hand polish.
The four punches and their 76 mm square die block are machined from tempered carbon tool steel. Anneal your metal first, keep to non-ferrous sheet of 18 gauge (1.02 mm) or thinner, and use a cutting lubricant — the reward is clean cuts and a long service life from the tool.
Cuts clean, repeatable dog-shaped blanks from non-ferrous sheet metal.
Includes four hardened carbon steel punches and a matching 76 mm (3") square die block.
Rated for soft metals like silver, copper, and brass up to 18 gauge (1.02 mm).
Punches are machine-ground with sharp cutting ends and bevelled striking ends.
Creates four graduated sizes from approximately 6 mm up to 26 mm.
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.
