Using Cooksons 5 Hole Disc Cutter
Hello everyone, I've just purchased the Disc Cutter 5 Hole
Item No: 997 3602 from cooksons.
I've only ever used one once before and I don't intend to use it that often so I bought the cheaper one that Cookson stocks.
It arrived yesterday. I've just had a go using 0.7mm copper. Greased it well and it went through like a dream but the punch is stuck fast. So any tips on getting it out.
Should I hammer from the other side ( on the cutting side?)
I thought it would be tricky getting it back out but it seems fairly stuck :(
Using Cooksons 5 Hole Disc Cutter
I had the same problem initially but as others have advised knock the cutter through, never from the cutting end. I know use my big metal working vice to steadily increase the pressure instead of wacking the cutter with the risk of the sheet moving a little. Mind you I had to use a piece of gas pipe on the handle of the vice to cut a piece this morning. The sheet was 1.2 mm thick but it cut it flawlessly. Andrew Berry did a very good video on keeping the cutters in good shape. Really makes a difference.
