Leather Punch Set

[The Iceman]

Not sure if any of you have tried these or not but I use the larger for making perfect tape circles to cover up delrin/Teflon washers and to protect the axle holes for Cubscout cars. (I'd put the masking tape on a block of wood and knock out a few)

Then I was talking with Hurricrane Racing and he uses them to make axles holes in glides which I thought was a great Idea too!

I lack the Iceman's talent so I use this:

I use a 44 mag casing to cut out masking tape to protect the washers and axel area.

 

[Eliminator Racing]

I use the smaller punch to make the hole in my wheel cover where the axle goes through.

This is what I was looking at several months ago. But felt it was a bit overboard.

Shoots Paul-

When you go for it you go all the way...

But I am sure you could find other uses other the PWD...

That's the problem Victor, I couldn't find enough other uses for it and this is why I squelched the purchase. I tried just purchasing what I needed but it was still too high.

There are pin punch tools I saw at Menards that would do the trick too. Less than $4 for one that would perfect for axle holes.

Here is how you make a washer with your newly acquired hollow punch set. Of course, use whatever material you choose, but practice with the plastic lid. /images/boards/smilies/smile.gif
