UltraFinder Report post Posted August 17, 2009 I am completely new to this and I have dedicated hours searching for a tool for my needs. I need a rotary type hole punch that has a 1/4" die in it. The biggest I can find is 3/16". It can be single die or multiple as long as there is a 1/4" existing, must be the hand type (squeeze) not with a hammer. Hopefully an expert can guide me.

UKRay Report post Posted August 17, 2009 I've only been working leather for about thirty years and have never seen a hand punch that can crack out 1/4" holes - perhaps some of the 'old timers' will be able to help you... I use a foot press to punch my 1/4" lacing holes - it is a whole lot easier and quieter than any other way I've tried! Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Report post Posted August 17, 2009 Osborne makes a single tube punch on a frame like a rotary punch. It is a TL153 with either a size 9 or 10 punch tube. Siegel had it in their 2004 catalog, maybe they still have them. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UltraFinder Report post Posted August 21, 2009 Thank you for replying. never thought of a foot punch. That might work because I have to do hundreds of holes at a time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke Hatley Report post Posted August 21, 2009 You will be more productive with a single punch rather than the hand puch, and your hand will not be sore. dont forget to get a block of parafin to lubricate the punch in ever so often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
