The set includes 18 hardened tool steel punches spanning 2.0mm to 12.0mm (approximately 3\/32\" to 1\/2\"), delivering perfectly round disks from soft precious and non-ferrous metals. Punches are manufactured to extremely close tolerances, featuring sharp straight cutting edges and a nail-type striking head for reliable, clean cuts every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended for cutting gold, silver, copper, brass, and thin sheets of nickel silver up to 18 gauge. The block is designed to be disassembled, making it easy to free any punch that becomes stuck in cut metal. For best results, use with a hydraulic press; a brass mallet on a rubber pad also works with care. Note that the smallest punches are most susceptible to breakage — handle with care, as individual punches are not guaranteed. Replacement punches are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 hardened tool steel punches ranging from 2.0mm to 12.0mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePunches manufactured to extremely close tolerances with sharp straight cutting edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNail-type striking head design for consistent mallet or press use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisassembles for easy punch removal when metal becomes stuck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetric calibrated sizing for precise, repeatable results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for gold, silver, copper, brass, and thin nickel silver up to 18 gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItalian made for professional jeweler quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePunch Count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePunch Size Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0mm – 12.0mm (approx. 3\/32\" – 1\/2\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePunch Sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePunch Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardened tool steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum Metal Thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended Metals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold, silver, copper, brass, thin nickel silver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlock Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105mm (4-1\/8\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall Height (with punches)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72mm (2-3\/8\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIndividual Punch Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71mm – 72mm (approx. 2-3\/4\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItaly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor best results, use with a hydraulic press.
