Look for two more new releases in February and March 2014: the Centering Jig and the Louvre Punch Set. The Centering Jig will help you locate the exact center of a variety of shapes while the Louvre Punch Set will allow you to add realistic, scale louvres in a variey of sizes and shapes to your models. We know all these new tools will be extremely useful in your model building.

 

UMM Multi-Shape Punch Set

Variety of punch shapes

  • set includes: a precision machined disk with a custom hardened rubber center. This central surface can be turned over for extended use. If needed, we will offer an aditional central section separately.

  • three basic punches: circle, square, and rectangle

  • one thin aluminum sheet included

  • comes in a clear plastic display case

 

 

The special base can be used with any shaped punch you can imagine. You can use our UMM punches, punches for other tools, or punches you made yourself. In the future, UMM will offer special punches, such as: squares and rectangles with rounded corners, triangles, half-circles, crosses, rings, dimpled surfaces, and hexagons, etc. These will come in different sizes suitable for different scales. We will also stock aluminum sheets in various thicknesses.

 



To use this tool, place the base on a solid surface and set the aluminum sheet on the rubber center. Apply pressure to your selected punch until you cut through the metal. You can also use a small hammer for thicker pieces of metal. The shapes you can produce are only limited by your imagination. For example, use Phillips screwdriver heads to make crosses which can be bent into small open boxes.Or, you can use punches with rounded surfaces to produce lenses, covers, or screw heads.

 



As you can see, this tool has applications for every type of model, be it aircraft, armor, ships, figure, automotive, etc. We're confident our new product will become an essential part of your modeling tool kit.

We appreciate your interest in our products.

Thanks: John Vojtech and Team UMM-USA
