Padova Hole Cutter Collection with 18 Cutter Sets and Manual Striking Tool, 1–15 mm / 0.039–0.591 in PDVSET0015EL

A Practical Hole Cutter Collection for Workshop Use

Leather, textile, bag, belt and tarpaulin projects do not always require the same hole diameter. Small pins and rivet posts need fine openings, while larger eyelets, cords and connecting components require wider holes.

This collection brings frequently used small, medium and large Padova cutters together in one package. It contains 18 complete cutter sets and one long-handle manual striking tool.

Included Hole Diameters

An 11 mm / 0.433 in cutter is not included. The 1–15 mm / 0.039–0.591 in description identifies the smallest and largest included diameters rather than an uninterrupted sequence.

Package Contents

• 18 Padova cutting tools
• 18 matching lower anvils
• 1 long upper holding rod
• 1 lower manual-tool base

Total package content: 38 physical components.

Why Are Two 5 mm / 0.197 in Cutters Included?

The collection contains the PDV00050DEL and KLP0005DEL Padova models. Both prepare a 5 mm / 0.197 in hole, but they are different products with separate model references. They should remain separately identified in the package contents.

Recommended Applications

• Leather and faux-leather accessories
• Bags, wallets, belts and footwear components
• Fabric, felt, canvas and textile surfaces
• Tarpaulin, awning, tent and technical textile work
• Hole preparation before compatible eyelet installation
• Pre-punching for rivets, posts and fine pins
• Cardboard, labels, notebook covers and craft projects
• Sampling, repairs and small workshop production

Hole Cutting and Hardware Installation Are Different Operations

A Padova cutter prepares the opening through which the tube, post, pin or leg will pass. Final installation requires a separate setting die that matches the construction and dimensions of the selected hardware.

Choosing the Correct Hole Diameter

Do not choose a cutter according to the visible cap or flange diameter. Measure the tube, rivet leg, post or pin that actually passes through the material.

• Measure the outside diameter of the passing component.
• Check the total thickness of all material layers.
• Consider the elasticity and density of the material.
• Avoid an opening that leaves excessive clearance around the component.
• Test the complete application on sample material before production.

Manual Application

When the connection standards match, the cutters may be used with the long-handle manual striking tool included in the collection. Keep the tool perpendicular to the material and apply controlled hammer strikes.

1. Select the cutter that matches the required hole diameter.
2. Pair it with the corresponding lower anvil.
3. Position the material securely over the lower anvil.
4. Keep the cutter perpendicular to the working surface.
5. Confirm that the connection is fully seated.
6. Apply a controlled vertical hammer strike.
7. Inspect the opening and material edges.

Connection Compatibility

The supplied cart shows the cutters with a connection option described as 1/4 in and approximately 8 mm / 0.315 in in diameter. Metric and imperial threads may have similar outside diameters while using different pitches and thread profiles.

Items Not Included

• Hammer
• Manual hand press
• Electric or pneumatic machinery
• Yellow cutting block
• Eyelets and washers
• Snap fastener components
• Rivets and posts
• Final setting dies
• Thread converters and adapters
