Precision and Performance

The Swanstrom Disc Cutter features precision-ground punches that produce smooth edges with minimal cleanup. Tight tolerances between the punches and the spring-loaded die plate ensure clean cuts while extending the tools service life.

For best results, place a shim of equal thickness to your cutting material on the opposite side to maintain balance.

• Use a 1/16″ thick, 95-durometer urethane pad (not included) under the cutters to minimize noise, support the tool, protect your work surface, and ensure precise cuts.
