A detailed spread-wing eagle, blanked in one strike: this set cuts the motif from soft sheet in four sizes, from 13.88 × 8.66 mm up to 24.94 × 15.61 mm. Useful wherever a themed collection needs the same bird repeated — pendant and earring pairings, or graduated sizes across a range — without piercing the outline out by hand each time.

Punches and the 76 mm square die block are tempered high-carbon tool steel, ground to take and hold a sharp shearing edge. Anneal your silver, copper or brass first, keep within 18 gauge (1.02 mm), and add cutting lubricant before each mallet strike — small habits that noticeably extend the tool's life.

  • Cuts four distinct flying eagle shapes from non-ferrous sheet metal.
  • Punch sizes (approx): 24.9x15.6, 20.8x13, 17x10.6, and 13.9x8.7 mm.
  • Made from tempered high-carbon tool steel for durable cutting edges.
  • Solid 76 x 76 mm (3 x 3 inch) steel block provides a stable cutting base.
  • For soft metals up to 18 gauge (1.02 mm) like silver, copper, and brass.

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.
