Long, narrow blanks are awkward to cut straight by hand; this set punches them instead. Three stripe punches — 9.51 × 57.56 mm, 9.51 × 54.36 mm and 9.51 × 51.16 mm — shear elongated blanks from soft sheet for tags, inlay strips and repeated jewellery components, each one true and identical to the last.
The die block is hardened high-carbon tool steel and weighs a reassuring 2.0 kg — mass that keeps the tool planted as you strike. The punches are bevelled for striking; drive them with a nylon mallet, use cutting fluid, and keep to non-ferrous sheet of 18 gauge (1.02 mm) or under.
- Die and punches are machined from hardened high-carbon tool steel.
- Cuts clean stripe-shaped blanks from non-ferrous sheet up to 18 gauge (1.02 mm).
- Includes three punch sizes: 9.51x57.56, 9.51x54.36, and 9.51x51.16 mm.
- Punches are bevelled for hammer striking; use with a nylon mallet and cutting fluid.
- Solid steel die block weighs 2.0 kg, providing a stable base for accurate cuts.

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.
