bigdogpaw Report post Posted January 21, 2019 I am trying to find a chisel with a round hole. Currently, I am using a 4mm set(2 prong, 4 prong,etc) of chisels that are a diamond shape. I am trying to find a set that makes round holes. With the exception of a cheap cheap set on Amazon I came across, I do not know where to go. I did see a 4 in 1 on the Tandy website but unsure if it is equivalent to the size I am using. Does anyone know where I can go to purchase a set to make the round holes? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigdogpaw Report post Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks. Probably end up getting these, as I am coming up empty handed. I may grab the ones off amazon though in the meantime until these get here. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YinTx Report post Posted January 22, 2019 I went looking for a set as well a few months ago. Did not see a cheap set that didn't cut a circle out of the leather. So, I went for using a stitch marker (overstitch wheel) and a round awl as an alternative method. Worked out ok. YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Works out 90% of the time, but i'll still get a few that come out not so straight and seems to take some time. Going to give them 12 dollar ones a try in the meantime.

If your using them with no issues, hopefully they will be good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079DLFQWF/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A37TO91FR7L9R8&psc=1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
