For charm bracelets and playful pendant work: four teddy bear punches in graduated sizes — 12.97 × 13.33 mm through 25.24 × 25.82 mm — shear identical blanks from brass or copper sheet with a single strike each. A whole bracelet's worth of matching charms takes minutes rather than an afternoon at the saw.

Block and punches are hardened, tempered high-carbon tool steel; the 76 × 76 mm block has enough mass to sit steady under a brass hammer. Anneal your sheet, stay within 18 gauge (1.02 mm), and run a little Bur-Life over the punch — the cutting edges will hold their sharpness far longer for it.

  • Cuts four teddy bear shapes from non-ferrous sheet metal up to 18 gauge (1.02mm).
  • Block and punches are machined from hardened and tempered high-carbon tool steel.
  • Includes four punch sizes: 13mm, 16mm, 20mm, and 26mm (approximate heights).
  • The solid steel die block measures 76 x 76 mm (3 x 3 inches) for stability on the bench.
  • Punches feature a sharp cutting edge and a beveled end for clean hammer strikes.

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.
