Oblong punch without handle

[Panzerradeo]

Good morning all! I'm looking for a set of oblong punches that don't utilize a handle. Kind of like cookie cutters. I've always just punched two round holes then connected them with an xacto until recently when i bought a weaver master tool oblong. The handle though is offset and can sometimes make a straight punch challenging for me. I recently watched a video by hahns atelier on youtube and he used punches that don't have handles exactly like I'm describing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have no real required budget and want something of quality and durability. Buy once, cry once. Thanks!

I think he's looking for this style of cutter;

I appreciate the link. The issue is, they look yhr same as what's offered on Amazon, bad welds with uneven cutting edges, but I won't cut the rope yet. I'll give it a browse and see if there are indeed good ones hidden amongst the list lol.

I use this type of shape cutters to great effect under a 1 ton arbor press with a magnet.

Good to know! thanks!

I use the ones I linked to as well. Under my press but without a magnet

A swipe with a diamond sharpening plate keeps an edge on them

Would either of you happen to have the measurements of the oblong cutters? Metric or standard is fine with me.

Be aware that not all these sets have the same size punches*

In my set I have three fat oblongs and three skinny ones.

Skinny ones; in mm, 30 x 5, 25 x 5 and 20 x 4

Fat ones; in mm, 25 x 16, 16 x 10 and 13 x 8

* I just check the sizes of mine against the list on the set I linked to; they are different

[Panzerradeo]

Right. That's what I'm worried about lol. I appreciate the help.

What exactly are looking for?  Size, shape and reason?
