gentle ben Report post Posted November 11, 2013 Hello friends I am making a few 1.5" belts and I need to get a punch for the tongue slot. What size is most versatile? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverwingit Report post Posted November 25, 2013 Most versatile would probably be a 3/4" oblong punch. It has many uses beyond your immediate needs. You can always create a wider or longer slot by making two or more "over-punches," though it takes some practices to make it look like only one punch made it. Better slots would be easier to make, though, with a punch the size of the desired hole. What size is that? I find that 1 1/4" fits most buckles well.

MadMorbius Report post Posted November 26, 2013 I generally use a 1" bag punch on anything greater than in inch in width. Anything smaller, I use the same width as the belt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gentle ben Report post Posted December 10, 2013 Thanks for your help. I went and bought an "economy" 1" punch. It seems to work OK for the small number of belts I have been making. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
