In addition to metal, I would like to use this punch for a very thick (1/4") leather belt. Will it work?

Probably not for leather. Leather requires a point of some type to pierce it and you can get a leather puncher much cheaper. This tool is strictly for metal.

Hello, of course yes, if it is able to pass the metal can easily cut the leather.

Not really setup for Leather. No knife edge for cutting. The cut would not be clean as a leather hole punch.

I have not used the set on leather yet, but I am sure it will work. Use each "hole cutter/punch" by hand or with a hammer to cut or punch holes into leather.

Should do that no problem it is very good quality punch. I used it to do eyelets in thick boots and worked great.

Don't know why you would want to use a punch--the material is too thick. Very easy to drill holes through the bottom, though. Maybe 3/8" for your purposes.

I'm pretty sure it will. I used this to punch holes in metal lids of mason jars and I had no problem at all

No. They are too thick and inflexible to use a hole-punch with. You'd have to drill the hole.

it should, but it is not as sharp as I anticipated and takes more effort to make holes in a leather belt than I had expected

I have not used it for more than One half inch thick steel but it worked great. I'm sure it would handle much thicker material.

Use a 1/4 0r 1/8 inch punch depending on what you are punching. I use the 1/4 ch on thick paper to crochet around.

no clue- I was attempting to punch thru 2 layers of cotton/ one of canvas. Tried with rubber mallot as well as my claw hammer before giving up and resorting to buying a single punch from Tandy

It depends on the thickness and quality of the leather. I have a thick leather belt and it was not easy to punch through. That being said, I don't think you need a lot of strength to use this. You need to be patient and rock the hole punch until it punctured the leather. Overall I'm very satisfied with this product. I hope this helps.

Sorry, i have no idea! But i would guess this is not the tool for sheet metal unless you got a special blade for thin metal stock.

It will cut any regular sign vinyl, including holographic, reflective, metallic, and rhinestone templates I guess you may go up to 0.030"~0.75 mm...but even if it may be able to cut thick vinyl, leather, thick paper, etc I personally do not recommend it.The hardware (step motors, belt bearings and so) do not look exactly heavy duty/industrial...is more of a craft "home edition" build...To cut thick materials it has to put a lot of pressure on the blade and a also a lot of stress on the gears/motors, and it may brake. Please provide more details about your application.

I used this on some heavy duty plastic with no effort so I think that it would punch through felt just fine.

I don't see any problem using them on a leather belt. Make sure to punch the hole through the leather first with a leather puncher, the hole diameter should be slightly smaller than the snaps, then install the snaps.

Thank you for your interest in this punch. This punch will punch a 1 1/4" diameter so you would have to measure the bottle cap to see if it would work for you. As for the magnet crafts that would also depend on the size you are wanting to cover.

No, I doubt it. I would say the materials you mentioned are much to thick. It would however work for a variety of things no thicker than about 1/8 in thickness.
