Small Disc Cutter

$50.95

Description

This small cutter features seven sizes ranging from 1/8" to 1/2". 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 1 lb. 10 oz and measures 2" x 2".

"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.

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.

Please note that his cutter has a fixed opening and so you're metal may move during cutting if it's not held firmly down with a punch. More expensive cutters often feature an adjustable opening that can help clamp the metal in place during cutting. "
