Product Information

If you imagine an oblong cut, with one side wider than the other, that is what a trace punch creates.

What this, they look and generally perform the same, while providing different punch sizes to choose from depend on what is being worked on. I learned a lot of new information about punches while trying to find the right one to suit my needs.There is usually an opening in the punch near the cutting end to insert a thin metal wire and push to release the cut leather material. Generally, to use a hole puncher, a piece of leather that is to be punched is placed on a nylon surface, on top of a hard, sturdy surface (such as granite). They have a solid steel hitting end, and a cutting end with several, usually about 6, small, round punches mounted in a generally circular pattern.

These are used to place decorative holes in something like a multi-layer belt with a contrasting color background that makes the hole stand out visually.They come in a small range of small diameters and are best used for rivets, screws, grommets, or belt holes. Punching leather is also required while you are trying to install rivets, buttons, belt buckles, etc.

The key to making a hole in leather is using a sharp cutting edge, and removing the leather material.

Choosing the right size is important however if you have a smaller oblong punch and you want to create a bigger hole in the leather, you can always use the oblong punch twice along the desired path to get bigger, clean-cut holes.
