This Italian made disk cutter set is used to produced round disks of metal. It can be used with mallets or in some sort of press, like a hydraulic press. It is made for jewelers and it is used for cutting soft precious metals, such as gold and silver up to 18 gauge thick. Other jewelry metals such as copper, and brass can be cut using care and common sense. This Italian set is very well made using specially hardened tool steel having sharp edges and extremely close tolerances. This set can be disassembled to help remove punches that become stuck in the cut metal. Also called disc cutter disc cutters disk cutters
How to use a disk cutter:
- Use a disk cutter on top of a rubber pad for support.
- Use a cutting lubricant, like Stay Sharp, to lubricate the cutting edges of the punch.
- Use a suitable mallet, never a nail driving hammer. We suggest brass mallets.
- Always support the opposite side of the cutter with a sheet of the same diameter metal that you are cutting. This will help keep the upper and lower parts of the disk cutter in alignment and help minimize material sticking in the disk cutter.
- Do not exceed the maximum thickness recommended for your disk cutter.
- Only cut soft non-ferrous metals like brass, copper, silver and gold.
- Make sure your cutting edges are down.
- To prevent rust, keep your disk cutter lubricated between use and store in a dry location
- We recommend to use this with a 95 duometer urethane pad to extend the life of the cutters
