For equestrian ranges and country-themed work: this set punches horse head blanks in four graduated sizes — 23.69 × 18.03 mm down to 12.83 × 9.77 mm — from silver or copper sheet. One tool covers pendants and earrings, tags for leatherwork and insignia for metal art, with every blank identical to the one before.

The 76 × 76 mm die block weighs 1.2 kg — a solid, stable foundation for the hammer — and, like the punches, is hardened and tempered carbon tool steel. Anneal your metal, stay within 18 gauge (1.02 mm), and use a cutting lubricant to keep the shearing edges in good order.

  • Creating pendants and earrings for equestrian jewellery.
  • Producing decorative elements for metal art projects.
  • Making custom tags or insignia for leatherwork and other crafts.
  • Cuts four distinct horse head shapes from non-ferrous sheet metal.
  • Punch sizes (approx): 24x18mm, 19x15mm, 16x12mm, and 13x10mm.
  • Made from hardened and tempered carbon tool steel for clean, repeatable cuts.
  • Solid 76 x 76 mm (3 x 3 inch) steel block provides a stable cutting base.
  • Rated for soft metals up to 18 gauge (1.02 mm) like silver and copper.
Weight 1.35 kg

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.
