MSK-T09 Manual Disc and Ring Cutter Set for Metal Sheets up to 1.29mm Thickness with 10 Precision Dies
The MSK-T09 cutter set is engineered for laboratory tasks requiring the precise punching of round discs and rings from thin metal sheets. It accommodates materials such as copper, aluminum, soft gold, silver, and brass with thicknesses up to 1.29 mm. This makes it ideal for sample preparation or component fabrication where consistent, clean cuts are essential.
The set operates manually using a cutter tool paired with ten interchangeable dies, each made from hardened and tempered shock-resistant tool steel with precision-ground surfaces. A spring-loaded die plate adjusts to the thickness of the metal being punched, facilitating smooth opening and closing during use. The included rubber base stabilizes the setup and organizes the cutter, dies, and Allen wrench for convenience.
Key Features
- Ten precision cutting dies available in metric or imperial sizes for immediate use.
- Dies crafted from hardened, tempered, shock-resistant tool steel with precision-ground surfaces.
- Spring-loaded die plate adapts to metal thickness for efficient cutting up to 1.29 mm.
- Rubber base (5-7/8″ diameter) securely holds cutter, dies, and Allen wrench.
- Suitable for punching soft metals including copper, aluminum, gold, silver, and brass.
- Center-positioning dies included for accurate ring cutting.
- Recommended use with a urethane square (not included) to protect cutters and work surface.

Typical Applications
This cutter set is commonly used in laboratories and workshops for preparing metal samples, fabricating small metal components, or producing precise discs and rings for research and development. It is especially useful for battery research, electronics prototyping, and jewelry making where thin metal sheets require accurate shaping.
Configuration and Operating Notes
The set includes the manual cutter tool, 10 interchangeable cutting dies, a rubber base for stable operation, and an Allen wrench for die adjustments. Users should select either metric or imperial die sizes when ordering. For optimal cutting results and to protect both the cutters and work surface, it is recommended to place a urethane square (1/16″ thick, 95 durometer, not included) beneath the metal sheet during punching. This absorbs hammer impact energy and ensures clean cuts. This cutter is not suitable for thin electrode sheets or plastic films such as battery separators.
