Mushroom charms need to match when they hang side by side, and punching beats cutting each one by hand. This set shears three graduated mushroom blanks — for pendants, charms and decorative elements — from annealed soft metal sheet up to 18 gauge (1.02 mm): place the sheet over the die, seat the matching punch and strike its bevelled end firmly with a mallet.

The 76 mm square die block gives the strike a stable base, and both it and the three punches — each around 38 mm long — are hardened, tempered carbon tool steel. Anneal your metal first and use a cutting lubricant; the shearing edges will stay sharp through long runs.

  • Cuts clean mushroom-shaped blanks from non-ferrous metal sheet up to 18 gauge (1.02mm).
  • Includes a 76mm square steel die block and three distinct mushroom-shaped punches.
  • Punch sizes (WxH): 13.3x15.5mm, 15.3x17.8mm, and 17.9x20.8mm.
  • Punches and die block are crafted from hardened and tempered carbon tool steel.
  • Punches are approximately 38mm long with a bevelled end for striking with a mallet.

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.
