Members bsshog40 Posted June 17 Members Report Posted June 17 What I'm really wanting is one good oval punch that I can use on all pancake sheaths and holsters for the belt holes. Can anyone recommend an all around good size and a quality punch? Thanks! Quote
Members RWentz Posted June 27 Members Report Posted June 27 1 3/4" is a good size as for the punch try master tool, or c.s. osborn brands. I bought my osborn punch through weaver supply. Quote

I bought my osborn punch through weaver supply. That's the size I like mine at also. The quality ones are a little rich for my wallet right now. Lol I'll have to save up for one. Quote
wizard of tragacanth Posted 8 hours ago Report Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Did you find a punch? If not, here is my recommendation. Most belts are 1 3/4" wide, so add a little and make your punch 1 13/16". Most belts will fit 1/4" slot but give it an extra 1/16", so 5/16" wide is good. So, final answer is, minimum... 1 13/16" by 5/16". BTW, I use a 4lb. hammer for this punch. You are in Texas, so I would recommend Texas Custom Dies... good people. http://www.usacuttingdie.com This is the style that I have. If you have a clicker, that's different.
