Manufactured exclusively for Rio in the USA by Swanstrom, this high-quality disc cutter set features tools made of hardened and tempered, shock-resistant tool steel with precision-ground surfaces. Spring-loaded die plate allows you to easily open and close according to the thickness being punched. Designed for soft materials up to 16 gauge (1.29mm).
Die sizes: 1/8" to 1-1/4" (1/8" increments).
This set includes:
• one cutter tool
• 10 dies
• a strong rubber base (5-7/8"-dia.) that conveniently holds the cutter and dies and an Allen wrench
Use a urethane square (1/16" thick, 95 durometer; not included) under the cutters as a support as you cut; the urethane absorbs the energy of the hammer blow, protecting the cutters and the work surface and ensuring a clean, sharp cut.
