NYCGUNLEATHER Report post Posted June 1, 2009 I'm looking for an oblong punch to cut out holster belt slots. The punches from Tandy and Osborne are too thin. Can someone point me in the right direction on where to have a custom punch made. I've been using a round punch on each end and cutting the middle with a razor, it works but there has to be a better way. Thanks. Bill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

awharness Report post Posted June 1, 2009 Since were on the bag punch/strap end topic, who sells the nice ones from KY, I think they are blue... I know that their is a guy in NY who sells them too, but I am talking about the maker in KY, I heard he makes real nice ones... -Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfcdan Report post Posted June 1, 2009 I needed a 2.5" punch made along with dies. Texas Custom Dies made what I needed, I received great products fairly fast. I expected a generic punch but I was surprised how well it was made. I don't have the # at hand but you can find it in the forum if u search it. Hope it helps, Daniel.

JohnD Report post Posted June 1, 2009 Daniel, Is this the place? http://www.texascustomdies.com/products.html Do they make punches that you would use with a hammer, or is it only clicker dies? Just curious. John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leather Bum Report post Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) O'brien Consolidated Industries. The website says, "Oblong , Strap-End and Custom Shapes Made to Order." Also, I believe Brettun's Village Leather sells some tools made by them, including oblong punches here. edit: Upon looking more closely, I'm thinking these might be too narrow as well. . .

sfcdan Report post Posted June 2, 2009 to answer the listed questions, yes that is the Texas customs dies website, their number is 888-755-9025. they make both clicker die type and punch type. Here's a picture of the item i purchased from them. the white scuffing is paper that i did not remove from the shipping. Daniel. sorry, let's try this again, here's the picture again, daniel.

NYCGUNLEATHER Report post Posted June 2, 2009 Thanks to all that replied the info was appreciated. It looks like Texas Custom Die is the way to go. that looks like a heavy duty punch. Now if I can only figure out how to make photos smaller so I can show you guys some of my work. Thanks again. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
