This disc cutter set enables you to punch clean, consistent hexagon shapes from non-ferrous sheet metal. The kit comprises a solid steel die block and six corresponding punches, precision-ground from tempered high-carbon tool steel for reliable, repeatable cuts.
The six punch sizes are: 6x7mm, 10x12mm, 13x15mm, 16x18mm, 19x22mm, and 22x25mm. For best results and to prolong the life of the cutting edges, use a suitable cutting lubricant and work with annealed metal. The tool is designed for use with a mallet or hammer on a solid, stable surface like a bench block. Note: The tool is supplied with a light oil coating; minor surface discolouration from storage is possible and does not affect performance.
Use this set for creating geometric pendants and earrings, fabricating custom parts for models, or producing uniform metal blanks for enamelling and stamping projects.
Cuts six distinct hexagon sizes from 6x7mm up to 22x25mm in soft metals.
Includes six punches and a matching 76mm (3-inch) square hardened steel die block.
Manufactured from tempered high-carbon tool steel for durable cutting edges.
Rated for non-ferrous metals like silver and copper up to 18 gauge (approx 1.0mm).
Punches are bevelled for hammer striking and ground for clean, low-burr cuts.
Only 5 left at the benchSame-day Birmingham dispatch on weekday orders before 2pm.
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.
