WANTED Good quality rotary punch

[Tengu]

I need a leather punch for a craft group at college.

My spare is a heap of junk. Im not lending them my decent one...Oh no!

I asked them what budget they had, (pointing out the punch can be used on things other than leather) and they said nothing.

(I mean the budget is nothing, not that they were silent...)

Has any one a decent rotary punch? (not a dodgy one, that would be pointless) I have, as usual, lots to trade.

they don't come much cheaper than this Tengu.

That's the one I `don't` want...

Does it have to be a rotary punch Tengu?

I've got similar for punching out washers for stoves. They will last longer than a rotary type IMHO.

+1 - I gave up on my rotary punch after it 'collapsed'. These are very good sets.

A set of punches would be my choice. Would they be allowed nowadays in a collage as you have to use a hammer to strike them

This is the one I've been using for a couple of years, without any problems. Cheap to buy, but I've found it very sturdy (though I know you said you don't want one of this style).

Only thing is that it can't readily punch holes far from the edge of the leather, so I do have one of the multi-punch sets from LePrevo that does need to be hammered in.

The plier is nice because it is quick to use.

It's worth keeping the punches sharpened. I use a DC4 stone on the outside, with a fine jewellers round file to take off any burrs on the inside of the punch.

Ive got a punch set for at home. I could use them in college but would be dubious about the integrity of the tables.

Certainly looks more 'beefy'. I might get one of those.

I've had to resort to using the punches from the rubbish rotary one I had in my power drill.

Use a breadboard or plank on the floor...
