What it isA tool in its own right
Bench jobSetting up the bench

A strap that needs an extra hole requires a clean shear rather than a torn edge. We fit reference 31228 with interchangeable cutters sized at 1.60 mm and 2.00 mm. The plier action closes the cutting tube directly through leather, woven fabric, or rubber stock against the anvil face.

Interchangeable cutters

We supply cutting tubes in 1.60 mm and 2.00 mm diameters. The cutter mounts into the upper jaw, letting you match the factory sizing on standard leather and rubber straps before punching.

Plier jaw action

The lever arms draw the upper jaw straight down against the lower anvil. Steady hand pressure drives the sharpened hollow tube cleanly through the strap material rather than stretching the grain.

Working with strap materials

Leather, fabric, and rubber bands respond differently under a cutter. Setting the strap flat across the anvil keeps the new hole square to the surface and aligned with the original run.

Replacing the cutter

The cutting tips unscrew from the upper frame when dull or when swapping between sizes. Keep the anvil surface clear of debris so the cutting edge seats evenly across each stroke.

Keeping the bench clean

Cleaning putty and what it lifts, why solvents are kept away from some surfaces, the point of a bench mat and a tray with a lip, cloths and brushes, and how tools are put away so the next job starts on a clear board.
