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.

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.
