Punch for round dash board gauge face decals etc,....

[Speedfreak]

Has anyone tried, or , does anyone use this punch? I had one and it didn't work out so well for acetate instrument panel gauge faces. It did work well for water slide decals. I'm thinking about getting another one, and , trying it again.

I have one and use it a lot. It works very well for me. I use it mostly on styrene and I haven't used on acetate, though I'd expect it to work the same.

What was the problem you had?

I HAVE ONE AND IT HAS WORKED WELL ON EVERYTHING I'VE USED IT ON.

I have one and it works with no issues at all.

These work pretty well too, and go down to modeler sizes (granted not as small as the MM kit). I them to punch decals and plastic all the time.

I haven't personally used this set, but it's an option too:

If you or someone you know is a shooter,sometimes a casing can be used as a punch.Or go to a range and pick up and compare sizes.I use them all the time for small holes.

Thanks, you guys have given some great options. I really like the hollow punch set from HF.
