I noticed most of your last 12 videos or so . Were basicly a review of a free tool you received ,and your videos are few and far between at that. When are you going to again put up a weekly video of a new project ? I used to love when I seen you had put up a new video, but like I said. Now it just seems that you are doing a review of a free tool once or twice a month. Good for you that you are getting all these free new tools. But I miss your old videos when you were doing alot of projects with very little .
Its true the higher end is easier to hit but if your just starting out they work. I used and still use my cheap ones with my hydraulic press. Thats a lot smoother regardless of which disc cutter you have but certainly for the cheap ones
Good to see you're doing videos again.... I bought some of the silver sheets, and 16guage wire, and soldering materials you recommended and they're AWESOME! Not sure if you recommended the "Ice Resin opals" but it's nothing but blue glitter, lol. Just wanted to say thanks for the recommendations tho.
Thanks and I did suggest that at one point before knowing 100% knowing what it was. Sorry about that. Try ringsupplies.com for some opal and use my code GomeowCreations to save some money 😅👍
@@GomeowCreations awesome, thanks man... The silver is fantastic and I've already fabbed up an inlay using your videos, laying the opals, and inlays as we speak, thanks again!!
Thanks! This was very informative. 👍 Can you buy Pepe Tools replacement punches to use in a non-Pepe Tools disc cutter?❓ I just purchased a disc cutter from PMC but haven't taken it out of the box yet because I need a brass hammer so I don't know if the punches are slanted at a 7° angle. I originally purchased one from Harbor Freight because of the price and because I liked the see-through top but I had to take it back because it was HORRIBLE! I got it stuck and almost couldn't get the punch out trying to cut 26 ga copper. It was pathetic! Btw, I checked out the links and the Pepe Tools website has better prices as opposed to their Amazon shop.
Love all your invaluable info and help and sharing! BTW, where is the Meow? A kitty somewhere in your life? Have you heard how fabulous kitties and UA-cam and jewelry making is?
So I have the same type of disc cutter as your Pepe but the one from Rio. As a teacher, I have one concern with your demo here and it’s how you are holding the hammer. When you use your Pepe, you are holding the hammer properly, clear to the end of the hammer handle. When you are demonstrating the cheap Harbor Freight one, you are choking up in the handle and having to use your brute force to try to force the punch through. You hold the hammer the same way when punch the ovals. How you hold the hammer makes a huge difference. Holding it properly, most especially with heavy weight hammers like a brass mallet, you are working much harder than you need or should. You are using brute force from your grip all the way to your shoulder. How we hold our tools has a big impact on our repetitive movements and risk of injuries. It also impacts how long we can work without tiring. Doing a video on good studio ergonomics would be a very good one to do. Tutorials are basically teaching videos and you want to teach students good habits from the beginning. It can make all the difference in how much enjoyment they get from their exploration of metal as, what I think, the best art medium! 😄 Keep up the good work.
Loved your comparison of the harbor freight V.S. Pepe disc cutters; You " Hit " It Out Of The Park!! I felt like you were describing Every issue I experienced with that inferior tool.. especially the dies getting stuck so bad, my husband had to put it in a vise & use another punch to hammer it thru. Now for the good news... I just got the Pepe one last week for my Birthday! Describing the reason for the angle, was very valuable for understanding the most important difference to a good punch. Also, thank you for explaining the reason only 13 centering dies; I had posted the question of why not the 1/8th.... makes total sense.
I love both the round and oval cutters! They cut so cleanly and consistently. I made some beautiful copper ovals and enameled them for some chic earrings!
I love my Pepe disc cutter. It saves so much time. One tip I have for cutting symmetrical moon shapes is to use a small cutter inside of the concave to line up to the edge of the metal. Your not using the smaller cutter for cutting, just alignment. Once aligned, tighten the spring clamp, and remove the small cutter and come back and cut the moon shape with the proper cutter designated for the hole size. If you’re doing several of the same size it helps with consistency.
Hi dude! So nice to see you posting again! My question is how thick of metal could you use in these cutters? would any size that fits between the plates work or is there a limit to the thickness before the cutters stop working?
It kind depends on that metal you are working with but in this video I was using 0.8mm brass and it was a little hard the hammer so I think you can maybe go up to 1mm brass and be ok. silver might be something like 1.5mm but I haven't tested this. Also you can use a press on this and likely do over 2mm+ 😁👍
Awesome video however im envious and mad @Pepe .....you got a much cooler brass hammer with yours than i did with mine ! Btw -im glad youre "back" and I'm not really mad a Pepe(even tho I have hammer envy for the rest of my Sunday). I have tool drool and envy everytime I visit their site.
Hello! I love watching your videos, they've been so helpful for me! Just wanted to ask if it would be okay to use a copper hammer with the disc cutter?
So glad to see your back and moved! I have a Pepe disc cutter and absolutely love it! Tossed the old cheap one and learned my lesson. lol... textured metal can be used in it too! Such fun. Thank you so much!!
Glad to see you back man. Hope the move went smooth. I started watching your videos back in January and during the lockdown I decided to give this a go. I have bought just about everything you have shown and am just waiting for the jewelers desk to arrive so I can get my room set up and get started. One thing I have not been able to locate but I am sure I say you do a video on it was the attachment for the FLex shaft to do engraving with. Was that a custom made tool or something you can purchase.
here is a link to the adapter bit.ly/EngravingAdapter and you could also get a starter set here if you don't have the hammer part bit.ly/EngravingStarterKit Here is my video on that ua-cam.com/video/34cL3hVIp44/v-deo.html
10:00 you can solve this easily , just use a 3mm/1/8 drillbit or better conical rotary tool with 3mm shaft to center the workpiece in that 3mm hole where the center tool is missing.

I honestly dont know if you can or not but you can contact Pepetools and ask. Also the harbor Freight one is trash for sure.

That's good information! I forgot about that after 5 years away from the bench..

Well thank you very much and yeah as you said, it is not really worth trying to save buy getting cheap disc cutters. 😁👍
You use your hammer as if it were a rock! There's a reason it has a long handle...it's called leverage!
It also has lights and cameras over and next to it 😅 👍 I use it right want things around my are not a risk haha
I love both the round and oval cutters! They cut so cleanly and consistently. I made some beautiful copper ovals and enameled them for some chic earrings!

What do you mean? I translated this and I still don't understand haha. 😅👍
It's an abbreviation that become another word
Mantap betul > Mantul
Means Real Good
Thanks 😁
I ordered the set with the hammer last week using code MEOW for my discount. Should arrive any day 🤓👌
Very nice, let me know how you like it when you get it. 😁👍
I do think Peepe should charge less for the oval one tho. it has alot less holes I want one but not for what they charge
great video. Love my disc cutter, that oval cutter i wish i had
Awesome video however im envious and mad @Pepe .....you got a much cooler brass hammer with yours than i did with mine !
Btw -im glad youre "back" and I'm not really mad a Pepe(even tho I have hammer envy for the rest of my Sunday). I have tool drool and envy everytime I visit their site.
Thank and the brass hammers wasn't from Pepetools, it is just one that I had. 😁👍
Hello! I love watching your videos, they've been so helpful for me! Just wanted to ask if it would be okay to use a copper hammer with the disc cutter?
I'm sure you can use a copper hammer but it's going to mess up your hammer over time seeing that copper is really soft
Thank you! I nearly wasted money on a cheap one.
So glad to see your back and moved! I have a Pepe disc cutter and absolutely love it! Tossed the old cheap one and learned my lesson. lol... textured metal can be used in it too! Such fun. Thank you so much!!
Yeah I have a lot of texting plates now that I'm going to use with it in a later video 😁
Ordered on with your code. Didn't necessarily need one but it's one of those tools that once you see the possibilities you have to have one.
Well thank you and let me know what you use it for 😁👍
