Working with leather and fabrics requires special tools. We are talking about the manufacture and repair of bags, shoes, belts, outerwear and much more related to leather goods. The main task of punches is to quickly and efficiently make markings, cuts, and piercing holes of oval and shaped shapes. The best manufacturers have filled the market with popular models of cutters and hole punches for fabric products, differing in functionality, characteristics, appearance, configuration, and purpose.

What types of punches are there?

Which product is best to buy depends on many factors. To avoid mistakes when choosing, you need to understand the classification of products. The main types of tools for leather and cardboard, as well as dense material, are as follows:

KindsDescription
Hole punchersThey belong to the category of cutters. They are equipped with a revolving head and punches of different diameters, the pitch between which is 0.5 cm. The main purpose is to make holes in dense fabrics.
NotchesPopular models are available for creating rectangular, square, oval, round and calibrated holes.
Fork line (step) punchesManufactured products vary in the number of teeth. Models are produced with teeth ranging from 2 to 6 pieces, and their shape may vary. The distance between the teeth is 0.5 cm. It solves the main problem - it makes an even row of identical holes for the upcoming stitch when manually stitching or braiding leather products.
Curly designsAble to make holes of an interesting configuration: in the form of a crescent, flower, butterfly, star, droplet, and so on. Designed for decorative finishing of fabric.

It is worth noting that wear-resistant, strong and durable tool steel is used in the manufacture of structures. As for the cutting surfaces, they all underwent special hardening and diamond processing, which significantly increases the service life of nozzles, punches, and sharp elements.

Features of the use of leather punches

Almost all leatherworkers use punches in their work. They allow you to prepare the product for final sewing. Leather is a fairly thick and tough material, so the use of a conventional sewing machine is impossible. You have to resort to using special tools. Hole punchers are also used when manipulating thick fabric, cardboard, tarpaulin, denim, leatherette, and so on.

The following types of devices are in high demand among tanners:

  • end;
  • ring;
  • curly;
  • lowercase;
  • revolver

Let's look at each group in more detail.

End

The main purpose is to trim matter. Belt trimmers are widely used. They are a pointed plate made of durable steel and bent along a certain contour. Often used for cutting leather flaps in the production of belts for waistbands. Other forms of instruments are also available for sale.

Curly and ring

Devices that not only make smooth and beautiful holes, but also remove material trapped in the internal cavity. The resulting slots are quite large. In appearance they resemble a tube with a pointed tip. Working with the device is easy and simple. It is enough to apply the pointed part to the material, and then hit the other part (the end) with a hammer.

The range of these products is so large that you can get lost in the variety. In addition to a round hole, you can make a diamond-shaped, oval or eye-shaped, star-shaped and so on. Round shaped products are sold in sets of 15 pieces. Tubes with a diameter from 2 to 22 mm. As for the shaped devices, they are sold separately.

You can make such a device yourself at home or order it on Ali Express. A review of reviews shows that a homemade device, if manufactured correctly, will not differ in characteristics from a purchased one. The main thing is to choose a durable material for manufacturing.

Lowercase

The density of the fabric precludes the use of sewing equipment, even professional ones with additional functions. A needle, no matter how strong it is, will not be able to handle thick fabric. A special line chipper will help solve the problems. Based on the principle of operation, manufactured products are divided into two classes:

  1. Functioning according to the principle of a cutter: first pressing, then piercing the entrance hole with spreading the tissue. Works like a charm.
  2. A compact cavity is cut out with complete removal of material. The result is a neat hole. The holes obtained in this way require further stitching with thread.

Linear models resemble a comb or fork in appearance. The spikes are located on the same line. There is the same distance between them. The number of needles is from 1 to 6. First, you need to install the structure along the intended seam, and then hit the end with a rubber or wooden mallet. The sharp spikes cut into the fabric, which leads to the formation of holes.

The needles may differ in section thickness and distance between them. Slant and small punches are suitable for French seams. In stores you can find products with thick spikes, the pitch between which is increased. Their main purpose is to sew coarse products using the thickest threads.

What to look for when choosing? The more spikes in the cutter, the faster you can prepare a line for subsequent stitching. How to make the right seam? The tool is placed on the line of the intended seam, and one or more blows are applied to the back. After punching the holes, the tool is removed and the steps are repeated, only in a nearby area. In this case, the first tenon is placed in the last hole already made. This will allow you to take an even step and avoid mistakes.

The more needles on the device, the harder the blow must be made. It takes a lot of effort to remove the device from the skin. According to buyers, to create a long seam it is better to purchase a tool with 6 needles, while the best device for making a short seam is one or two needles.

Manufacturers produce punches in the form of pliers. They are not very accurate, but there is no noise during their operation (no need to use a mallet for punching). Structural elements – two jaws with combs. How to use them? They are installed along the line of the intended seam. Then the arms tighten. Suitable for marking seams on dense fabric.

Revolving

They resemble ticks in appearance. One jaw is equipped with a revolver with screwed-in punches for piercing. Before you begin manipulating the structure, you need to turn the revolver so that a certain type of needle is installed opposite the second jaw. Then you need to place the fabric between the jaws and squeeze the tool so as to make a hole. A standard revolver is equipped with 6 spikes, the diameter of which varies from 0.2 to 0.45 cm. To prevent the revolver from turning, manufacturers provide a lock.

The device is designed to punch only one hole at a time. This product is not suitable for seam formation. Solves the main problem - creates small holes (on the belt).

For wads

A separate product category. Performs the main task - cutting out wads for loading cartridges. In appearance it resembles ring devices. The diameter corresponds to the caliber of the cartridge. Requires constant sharpening, as you have to work with soft fabrics such as felt and cardboard.

Classification and device

Due to the fact that leather has a high density, a needle or awl is not always suitable for punching it. From here it is clear that for greater efficiency you should use a special tool (punchers and hole punchers), the models of which can be divided into:

  • Lowercase;
  • Curly;
  • Revolver;
  • Ring;
  • End

A standard punch is a tube with a sharpened working surface. Sharp sharpening is the main design requirement, based on the fact that the smaller the area the device is in contact with the material, the easier it is to make holes in it.

IMPORTANT! It is quite possible to make a hole-punching and punching device yourself; you just need to select a tube of the required diameter and sharpen it with high quality.

There are also modern models that have a countersinking function. For such samples, the work cycle consists of two steps:

  1. The tip punches a hole;
  2. Special built-in blades expand the opening to a given size.

The countersinking process itself is a mechanical processing of the material, in which the accuracy of the hole being punched is calculated in tenths of a millimeter. Performing such manipulations manually is practically impossible, because It will be necessary to apply excessive muscular effort to the device, maintaining increased accuracy. In a countersink, various metalworking machines can be used as a working drive. The shape of the hole will depend on the working part of the hole punch. As an example, we can give a conical shape of a tool, the impact of which will produce round holes.

Models for eyelets

To install eyelets (fittings that protect holes from destruction) on the material, you will need to make round holes with a certain diameter. It is very difficult to perform such an operation using improvised tools or at home. Therefore, for this process, special devices are used, which, when making holes, simultaneously attach special rims to their edges, protecting the edges of the holes from destruction. Typically, such rivets may also contain the branding of the manufacturing company or its proprietary pattern. Eyelet models not only perforate products, but can also simultaneously bend the edges of holes, which in the future will not require special processing of their edges.

Linear models

Their shape can be compared to a comb or a dinner fork. They have special spikes that are arranged in a single line, standing at an equidistant distance from each other. This device contains needles ranging from two to six pieces. They are installed on the same line along which the future seam will pass. By striking the end part of the device, the material being processed is pierced and holes are made in it. The number of spikes on the line punch will determine the sewing speed. Upon completion of penetration, the spikes are removed from the holes, and the comb itself is shifted the required distance to one side, maintaining an even step. Line punchers can be divided into two options:

  1. Products that work on the principle of a cutter, pressing/piercing holes, and pushing the material apart;
  2. Products that cut out a small cavity in the material, removing the resulting excess (this option leaves the highest quality and neatest holes).

It is worth noting that for inline models, the spikes may have different shapes. The most common are round and semicircular options, but there are also:

  • Diamond-shaped;
  • Triangular;
  • Oblique;
  • Rectangular.

IMPORTANT! An important role in the work of urgent samples is played by the thickness of the cross-section of the spikes and the distance between them. For example, French seams are usually made using bias punches and they are traditionally used for sewing purses or finishing leather watch straps.

If you plan to work with very coarse and dense material, then it is preferable to use cutters whose spikes have a larger diameter and increased spacing. This ratio will allow you to stitch the future product with thicker threads. It should be noted that for this category there is no universal toolkit suitable for all working situations, therefore, the more different line combs a master has, the greater the range of tasks he can perform.

IMPORTANT! The diamond-shaped shape of the studs is characteristic of the Chinese tailoring school, which has developed historically. Their line punches classically have 1, 2, 4, 6 teeth with a standard distance between them of 5 millimeters.

Revolver models

In appearance, the devices in question resemble pliers, on one part of which a revolver-type device is installed for punching holes. Using such a sample, you need to turn the device and install the working spike of the desired type. Next, all that remains is to place the material to be processed and press the handle to make the hole. As a standard, revolving models have six studs with a diameter of 2 to 4.5 millimeters. The risk of the drum spinning during operation is prevented by a special blocker. However, one press of this model means making one hole, which means it is not possible to get a seam right away. The main purpose of revolving devices is to punch single holes, for example, for a waist belt or a bag strap.

Curly models

Punching holes using ring or shaped devices involves removing part of the material that falls under their working part. With the help of such devices it is possible to make large-sized slots. Their traditional shape is a regular tube with a pointed end. Cutting is carried out by applying the pointed part to the material and hitting the end of the tool with a strong blow. The range in this model range is very large. Thanks to them, it is possible to make not only an oval or round hole, but also to repeat the outlines of complex geometric shapes - stars, polygons, trapezoids, etc. The models under consideration are usually supplied in kits where the tubes have a diameter from 2 to 22 millimeters.

End models

They are most often used for trimming skin. Special trimmers used for processing belts, shaped like a curved steel plate, have become very popular. This plate is convenient for cutting ribbons for waist belts.

"Hunting" models

With their help, wads are specially cut, which are subsequently inserted into the cartridge. They have large-sized shapes, compared to sartorial variations. Their diameter corresponds to the caliber of the cartridge loaded with the wad. Their main purpose is to cut out the desired piece from a very dense material, which is usually cork, cardboard or felt.

Special models

These variations are equipment capable of working both on leather and thick fabric, and on metal. This may include:

  • Pneumatic - such samples require connection to a pneumatic compressor. They are used for processing various materials, including tin, sheet metal or metal tiles.
  • Hydraulic - they are, to a greater extent, similar in principle of operation and appearance to industrial machines designed for making holes in metal.
  • Manual - these variations for dense materials will require remarkable strength from the master. Their body itself is always made of durable carbon steel, due to the specific nature of processing dense products. Due to their massive construction, they are less susceptible to deformation when cutting into the workpiece.

IMPORTANT! Special models can lose their sharpness very quickly, so a periodic sharpening procedure is provided for them. In this case, you need to sharpen the working part not only on the outside, but also on the inside, completing this process with polishing.

How to choose punches for eyelets

Eyelets are accessories that can often be found on footwear, textiles, and printing products. Popularly called rings because of the similarity in appearance. They are necessary for pulling laces, ribbons, and braid. The parameters are directly related to the load that the product will have to withstand. Eyelets can be made both at sewing factories and independently. They are suitable for leather and fabric. Often used in crafts or scrapbooking.

Eyelets help reinforce the opening in any fabric. The plug becomes not only a functional element of the product, preventing the puncture site from stretching, but also its decoration. Eyelet material:

  • steel;
  • brass;
  • plastic;
  • tree (rare).

The most popular are plastic devices. They are inexpensive and easy to use. Where can I buy them? In any specialized store or order online in an online store. There are products from famous brands and budget options from China to choose from. The kit may contain a different number of eyelets. This determines how much the set costs.

Experts recommend giving preference to metal products. Metal devices are distinguished by their reliability and stylish design. On sale you can find a product of any shade, as it is coated with various varnishes, paints, and spraying. The shape varies depending on the area of ​​use. Traditional models are round in shape. They can often be found on curtains, bags, awnings, and backpacks. The fittings may also have a non-standard configuration. For decorative details, oval, triangular and square shapes are used.

The structural elements of the eyelets are:

  • washer;
  • sleeve.

To install the grommet, you need to make a hole in the material using a punch. Afterwards, both parts are applied to the destination and fixed with a special tool. To install grommets, there are the following types of devices:

  1. Manual. The set includes a die, embossing and a punch. A punch is used to make holes into which the bushing and washer are inserted. Using embossing with a nozzle or a press, they are fixed to the fabric. When working with elastic material, it is worth making the holes slightly smaller than the grommet.
  2. Automatic. Used for commercial purposes. They have large dimensions. Allows you to make eyelets of any size and configuration. They work with fabric of any strength and density. Productivity indicator – up to 1500 pieces in 60 minutes.
  3. Semi-automatic. A distinctive feature from the previous version is the need to independently install the bushing and washer into the press. The holes are made automatically. The performance is impressive. In one hour, the unit can install up to 1300 eyelets. The weight of the structure is from 6 to 7 kg. They are distinguished by their low price and versatility. They can work with any material whose density does not exceed 510 g/sq.m.

Everyone's selection criteria are different. When choosing a suitable device, experts advise to prioritize the volume of tasks assigned to it and the quality of their execution. Which company model is better to purchase depends on personal preferences. It is worth considering that high-quality products with high performance cannot be budget-friendly.

Basics of using hole punches and punches

First of all, you should choose the right tool. Its pitch, the diameter of the piercing working part and the material of manufacture must correspond to the current task. Then you need to:

  • On the existing workpiece, mark the location of the future hole;
  • Install the tool in such a way that its working part fits tightly into the future hole, without going beyond the required limits;
  • It is important to maintain the spacing between holes in a uniform manner, and all marks must be located on the same line;
  • Having accurately checked all the measurements, the tool is applied to the workpiece and its activating element is pressed (for end tools - a blow to the end, for revolving tools - squeezing the handles, etc.). The pressure force must correspond to the density of the material;
  • After pressing, it is necessary to remove the cut out element of the workpiece or clean the resulting hole.

When using the equipment in question, selection of the interval and centering of the tool are considered important conditions. If these conditions are in “disagreement” with each other, then the holes may not be on the same line. When punching the first hole (or set of holes), you need to constantly maintain the spacing and direction, then the resulting result will be indistinguishable from factory work. The processing principles described above are applicable not only for punching holes, but also for installing buttons and rivets.

IMPORTANT! The tool will last much longer if you put a special substrate in the form of a polymer plate under the workpiece. Removing the workpiece at the end of the work must be done vertically, avoiding its swinging.

Making your own stepper punch

The stepping tool is rightfully considered one of the main devices for working with leather, which is used to make holes when sewing workpieces. It is possible to use a regular table fork as a structural base for it. It is preferable to choose the latter from stainless steel (not aluminum) with a flat handle. Its teeth should preferably be rectangular or triangular.

First you need to get rid of the curvature of the teeth by aligning them. To do this, you need to heat the working part over the fire, after holding the fork handle in a vice, and knock on the teeth with a hammer. Next, the teeth are carefully filed using a hacksaw, and then broken off using pliers. Also, the excess part of the handle is sawed off with a hacksaw in order to give it an even shape of the end for impact, and the sharp edge formed along the edges is cleaned with a file. The next step will be the process of equalizing the width of the fork tines, because the outer tines of the fork are slightly wider than the middle ones.

At the last stage, it is necessary to sharpen the working elements of the device with a needle file, checking that the length of the teeth is uniform, otherwise the size and shape of the holes being punched will differ.

Before using the resulting device, it is necessary to check the quality of future holes on unnecessary scraps of leather blanks. If adjustment is necessary, it must be done by sharpening the working teeth.

It is worth noting that for the handle it is possible to use a part of another tool that has become unusable with a suitable size in order to ensure complete convenience of striking the end part, with proper distribution and application of the impact force across all teeth.
