Teardrop Shaped Set of 4 Disc Cutters in Wood Box

Cut precise teardrop-shaped blanks from soft non-ferrous metals with this set of four hardened tool steel disc cutters. Each cutter is individually fitted to its matching hole with extremely close tolerances, ensuring clean, accurate cuts every time. The set ships in a wooden storage box and covers four teardrop sizes to support a range of pendant, earring, and decorative metalwork applications.

How to Use a Disc Cutter

1. Place the disc cutter on top of a rubber pad for support.
2. Apply a cutting lubricant, such as Stay Sharp, to the cutting edges of the punch.
3. Strike with a suitable mallet—never a nail-driving hammer; a brass mallet is recommended.
4. Support the opposite side of the cutter with a sheet of the same-diameter metal being cut to keep upper and lower parts in alignment and minimize material sticking.
5. Do not exceed the maximum recommended metal thickness for the cutter.
6. Only cut soft, non-ferrous metals such as brass, copper, silver, and gold.
7. Ensure cutting edges are facing down before striking.
8. To prevent rust, keep the cutters lubricated between uses and store in a dry location.
9. Use with a 95 durometer urethane pad to extend the life of the cutters.
