A recurring branched motif is tedious to saw twice and wearing to saw twenty times. This set punches the forked Y-form straight from non-ferrous sheet in three graduated sizes, so a layered design or a full production run comes out with every blank identical — cleanly sheared edges, no drift between pieces.

Three hardened steel punches pair with a heavy-duty die block whose plates are secured by two hex-head bolts, so nothing shifts under the strike. As with any blanking die, feed it soft metals only; the crisp shearing action depends on the edges staying true.

  • Includes three hardened steel punches in distinct forked-branch shapes.
  • Heavy-duty steel die block ensures clean, sheared edges on your blanks.
  • Provides three graduated sizes for creating layered or varied jewellery components.
  • Die plates are secured with two hex-head bolts for stability during use.
  • Delivers consistent, identical blanks far faster than piercing with a saw.

Common questions at the bench

What metal and thickness can it cut?
Check this product's description for the metals and any maximum thickness it gives, and stay within them. If it gives none, keep to thin, soft, non-ferrous sheet. Cutting 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?
Stand the cutter on a solid, flat surface such as a steel bench block and check the sheet lies flat where it should. Set the punch with its cutting end to the metal and strike it squarely and firmly with a hammer, or a mallet with a hard face; a nylon, wooden or rubber face can be dented by the punch. 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 clean after use 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.
