Members JamesR Posted Monday at 04:56 PM Members Report Posted Monday at 04:56 PM I wanted to precisely punch centered oblong holes in 1 1/2" belt blanks for attaching the buckle. This jig allows me to it easily. The punches are sandwiched between blocks and screwed together. The blocks were sized to snuggly fit into the 1 1/2" wide box that the belt blank slides into. They were also cut to allow the punch to be centered in the jig. The blocks are easily removed whenever I need to use the punch without the jig. They are held together with flathead screws and Tee nuts. Quote

Members Dwight Posted 22 hours ago Members Report Posted 22 hours ago I use a smaller oval shaped punch . . . Never quite got the hang of it . . . minor miscues really look bad with it. Finally put it in a vise . . . made sure the punch was oriented straight away . . . Took a file and engraved a line down the middle of the top of the punch. No more problems . . . works great. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
