Oblong punch without handle

Recommended Posts

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 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.

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

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

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