Its compact shape and hardened cutting edge provide repeatable performance in saddlery, belt and strap production or repair tasks.

Advantages

The leather punch features a hardened cutting tip for consistent 5 mm holes and a body constructed for manual striking or press mounting. The tool's geometry facilitates clean perforations with minimal fraying, reducing the need for secondary finishing.

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 5 mm
• Intended material: leather and similar flexible hides
• Operation method: manual striking with hammer or compatible press
• Cutting edge: hardened for repeated use
• Typical use: creating round holes for fastenings and stitching alignment

How to use

Position the leather piece on a solid, impact-resistant surface such as a cutting mat or hardwood block. Align the punch perpendicular to the workpiece where the hole is required. Strike the top of the punch evenly with a hammer, or press using a compatible hand or arbor press, until the punch cuts through the material. Withdraw the punch and clear any waste material from the cutting edge before the next use. For thicker or multiple layers, apply steady, incremental strikes to avoid deforming the materials or the punch.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses when striking. Keep the cutting edge clean and periodically check for wear; re-sharpen or replace the punch if it deforms or produces irregular holes. When working with delicate or finished leathers, test on a scrap piece to verify hole placement and strike force.
