RBD Report post Posted Thursday at 10:44 PM I am looking for recommendations for larger hole punches. I find the Tandy multi head punch kit quite adequate for holes up to 8mm, but haven’t found good punches for larger holes. I’ve bought an inexpensive punch set from Princess Auto (similar to harbour freight, I think, in the US?)and tried sharpening them with mixed results. I like the ‘midi’ set from Boehm, but the punch sizes only go to 20mm, and the maxi set is way out of my price range. I am just a hobbyist, so price is a factor in my choice. Any advice would be appreciated. Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted Thursday at 11:11 PM I would say to look for old second-hand Gasket punches. They go up to at least 3" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUP Report post Posted 23 hours ago (edited) If you don't mind sharpening the punches, try Amazon. I saw a set going up to 50-55mm. Temu has punches as well as die templates. The prices are reasonable enough that if they turn out bad, it does not pinch. Many of the Temu items are surprisingly good too.

Northmount Report post Posted 7 hours ago 18 hours ago, RBD said: I am looking for recommendations for larger hole punches Try Grainger for arch punches. Individual sizes and set. https://www.grainger.ca/en/product/ARCH-PUNCH-1-1-4IN/p/GTL1271O?analytics=prodRecs&cm_sp=IDP-_-CAV-_-RR-_-PR-_-NT-NA-_-EN https://www.grainger.ca/en/product/ARCH-PUNCH-SET-NOT-TETHER-CAPABLE/p/WWG3ZG91 Not cheap, but you can get one or two at a time. I have a few from them. I tried a set of punches from Princess Auto and found them to be almost useless. Have been happy with the "General" brand from Grainger.

TomE Report post Posted 44 minutes ago Beiler's sells arch punches from 1/4" to 2" that are "made to their specifications." The 3/4" is $28.79 and the 1-1/4" punch is $35.99. I am pleased with the quality/price of their pippin punch and strap end punch, and think the arch punches would be similar quality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
