Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 40 mm
• Material compatibility: vegetable-tanned and chrome-tanned leathers, layered leather materials, heavy textiles and some synthetic leathers
• Cutting edge: hardened steel cutting rim for durable performance
• Intended use: manual striking with mallet or mechanical pressing in workshop setups
• Form factor: cylindrical hollow punch for round openings

How to use

Mark the desired hole position on the leather and place the workpiece on a suitable cutting surface such as a wooden bench block or cutting mat. Position the cylindrical punch perpendicular to the material and, if using a mallet, strike the top of the punch evenly until the cut passes through. If using a press, align the punch in the press fixture and apply controlled pressure until the hole is complete. Remove the cut plug from the hollow body and, if necessary, clean or sharpen the cutting rim to maintain clean cuts.

Usage recommendations

For best results use a firm, flat backing surface to prevent distortion, and inspect the cutting edge regularly. When cutting thicker or multiple layers, apply steady, even force or use a press to avoid angled cuts. Store the punch dry and lightly oil the cutting rim to protect against corrosion between uses.
