This disc cutter set allows you to punch three specific 'LOVE' word shapes from sheet metal. The block and punches are machined from hardened and tempered carbon tool steel, ensuring clean cuts and durability when used correctly with non-ferrous metals.
To use, place your annealed metal sheet into the die, insert the corresponding punch, and strike it firmly and squarely with a suitable mallet or hammer. The set includes three punch designs with dimensions of 50.73x29.4mm, 50.73x35.44mm, and 35.44x29.4mm. For best results and to prolong the life of the cutting edges, we recommend using a cutting lubricant like Bur-Life.
Use cases include creating unique pendants for jewellery, producing decorative tags for craft projects, or making custom components for mixed-media artwork.

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.
