Product Information

This is a handheld multi-sized puncher. You can change size by turning the “wheel”. IMHO a quality rotary punch is a great and convenient tool but a cheap rotary punch is a nightmare.

When I first started leather work, the noise was a big issue. I looked for many solutions before discovering punching pliers. These are diamond-shaped teeth with a rubber pad that you simply squeeze onto the leather. Leather stitching machines at a high level have a sewing surface, spools of thread, a power source, a needle, and a control pedal. The fabric to be stitched is guided under the needle, and when the control pedal is pressed, the needle moves up and down, putting stitches into the fabric. The fabric is moved through the machine, which stitches constantly in a linear fashion. The stitching of the machine is consistent, clean, and strong. For a consistent finish on the leather, these machines are great. Factor to consider Many tools can make a hole in a leather piece. Though, there are a few tools designed specifically for leather hole punching. A general name for all leather-punching tools is “an awl”. Though, most manufacturers use the term “leather punch”.Before selecting a tool, make sure what sort of tool is suitable for your project and select it. Leather sewing tools With many different leather piercing tools available, I decided to look at some of the more uncommon ones. This got me more familiar with other tools and allowed me to pass on my findings on how they are used. Stitching Wheel Pattern and Letter stamps are metals tools used to imprint patterns or letters into leather. You place the end with the pattern on the leather surface, use a mallet or maul to strike the stamp to imprint the pattern onto the leather.

A simple punch and chisel collection is everything that would ever be needed for many individuals, including metal cutting chisels and a variety of punch heads. Awls will be broken down by blade shapes, such as flat, diamond, or oval, while also changing blade width. Standard sizes for awl blade width are 2mm–4mm. Stitching chisels do not vary as much in their blade size but rather in their spacing. The larger the spacing, the more distance between each stitch. Common sizes for stitching chisel spacing are 2mm–5mm. Variations Complex tools that are difficult to use make a person frustrated. So before spending money on any tool, make sure it is easy to handle and easy to use to make work enjoyable. Need. Comfortable handles, durable, powder coated body is desirable for everyday, professional or outdoor use, and the items, covered by a long-time warranty are preferable.A leather sewing machine is a powered piece of mechanical equipment that joins materials together. Stitches are connections formed between materials by threads. Unlike hand sewing, which requires each stitch to be made one at a time, machine sewing allows for faster, automated stitching. Stitch wheeler is used for marking stitch hole locations on leather. It has a metal wheel with sharp points on it. Used together with an awl. Awls will be used to pierce the markings to create the stitch holes. Personally, I use Diamond chisels now. Leather punches are used to push fasteners on a leather piece, such as nails and dowels, to make a gap or to form an indentation/impression of the tip. To build a pattern or even shape a picture, decorative punches can also be used. Leather piercing tools can be broken down by their task: punching and cutting. Punching tools like die cutters and round punches remove leather in the shape of their tool. Cutting tools like awls, flat chisels, and stitching chisels only cut the leather. The tools type can further break down both tool categories. Dies come in any imaginable shape, and awls and stitching chisels can come in diamond, flat, or oval shapes. Leather Piercing Tool Pros All leather piercing tools will be made with steel. This material is hard enough to be pushed through leather and can be sharpened to maintain the edge. The steel used in knives is broken down by the amount of carbon used. High-carbon steel, commonly found in budget tools, is easily sharpened but has limited edge retention.

Probably the easiest and most obvious approach is the rotary punch. First, locate the correctly shaped punch tube to apply the rotary punch, rotate it into place, spot it balanced over the marking, and then grip the handle. If you think you’ll be punching holes sometimes, it’s fairly easy and can be worth investing in this device. Patricia W. Freeman, and Cliff A. Lemen, from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Nebraska, tested puncture resistance of different types of leather used with gloves. They found that even the slightest change in bluntness can cause the force required to pierce the leather to double, if not quadruple, depending on the type of leather. SizesThe power drill is a product that you possibly already have on hand. You should properly drill a hole into the leather by using the 3/16″ bit. Make sure that you have a bit of spare wood or something close underneath while drilling the hole. It can continue into whichever surface is under it as the bit passes through the leather piece, which can destroy the surface, the drill bit, or both. The smallest, 2 mm diameter may be indicated as 0”, but it’s not smaller than the nozzles the similar tools feature.

Mallet is another striking tool that is widely used in leathercraft. It basically has a hammer style shape. Materials used are wood, rawhide, plastic and rubber. I personally dont recommend using the wooden mallet, unless you have limited budget. Rawhide or plastic is durable and will work great. Perfect to strike your punch and stamp tools. If you are a novice leather crafter, consider investing in punch and chisels sets. They are more expensive but, in the long run, you will save money because separate tools cost more than the ones in the sets, even if they have the same brand label. What are punches made of?

Diamond Chisels are use to produce straight, consistent diamond-sized holes for stitching. The chisels are used to to punch stitch holes along the stitch line. Available in 1,2,4,8 “teeth” variant. I mainly use this for all my projects. For curves, smaller teeth size will be used. To label the exact position you intend to punch, using a ruler and pencil, calculate the lengths of established holes and match up your hole with them. And, once the movement sounds familiar, get a feeling of simply punching the holes in some scraps. You would be able to replicate it this way on the watch strap and drill a hole that is nicely placed, centered and sharp-looking. What is a punch tool used for?

While round punches will be commonly found in 0.5mm, and up to 100mm, die sizes depend on the shape being cut out, including organic shapes. Similarly, piercing tools such as awls and stitching chisels also have their own sizing.
