This disc cutter set produces four sizes of a detailed flying eagle shape from soft sheet metal. The set includes a solid steel die block and four matching punches, each machined from tempered high-carbon tool steel to create and hold a sharp cutting edge.
To use, slide your sheet metal into the appropriate slot on the 76 mm square block, insert the corresponding punch, and strike it firmly with a mallet or hammer. The four punch sizes are 24.94 x 15.61 mm, 20.84 x 13 mm, 16.97 x 10.63 mm, and 13.88 x 8.66 mm. For the cleanest cuts and to prolong the life of the tool, we recommend using a cutting lubricant and working with annealed metal.
This tool is ideal for jewellers creating themed collections, silversmiths making pendants or earrings, or crafters needing consistent, detailed shapes for 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.
