Large cutter features five sizes ranging from 1/2" to 1". Cut perfect circles every time! The holes have been drilled, reamed and then honed to make the finest and cleanest cutter available. The punches are oil-quenched tool steel and drawn for hardness and durability. The bottom base is case-hardened and ground. Cuts metal up to 14 gauge. Total weight is 2 lbs. 12 oz and measures 3" x 23/4".
"Why cut circle with a saw when you can punch our perfect shapes with a disk cutter? If you need standard size disks, this little tool will save you time and effort.
"Before you buy one of those cheap cutters from China, consider this: they are usually so poorly made that they rip and tear your disks, leaving frayed edges and... more work! Don't go cheap on a quality tool - these disk cutters have precision ground edges on the die and the punches for a clean cut. And the two halves of the die separate to allow easy placement and removal of your metal.
"Don't forget to get a heavy hammer too, like a ball peen hammer from the hardware store to hit the punch. And work on a cheap soft surface like an inexpensive mouse pad, to catch your disk and the punch."
- Joe Silvera, Metalsmithing Teacher
