HM-7S Square Hole Punch, 7 mm diameter. Used for punching ceramic pieces. This is a specialized tool for punching precise, even square holes or slots in clay pieces.
Primary Uses
-
Creating Pierced Patterns: Used for punching through the walls of vessels or clay slabs at the leather-hard stage to create pierced patterns, such as light openings for ceramic lamps, ventilation holes for aromatherapy oil burners, or geometric patterns on vases.
-
Punching Drainage Holes and Cord Openings: Used for punching square drainage holes in the bottom of plant pots, or for punching openings to thread electrical cords/slings for ceramic items like table lamps and decorative wall hangings.
-
Creating Incised Texture Patterns: In addition to punching through, it can also be used to apply light pressure (without punching through) to create 8mm square indentations as a textured pattern to add dimension to the surface of a piece.
Highlights
-
Razor-Sharp Square Stainless Steel Punch Head: The punch head is made from a precisely formed 8mm square stainless steel tube. Its thin and sharp edges allow it to cut through clay cleanly, resulting in smooth cuts that do not distort or warp the piece's walls.
-
Compact Wooden Handle with Clay Ejection Slot: The handle is made of smooth, rounded, slender hardwood, making it comfortable to hold like a pen. The punch head is a hollow, beveled tube, allowing the punched clay to easily and quickly exit through the ejection slot without getting stuck inside the tube.
