Hole Cutter 17 mm / 0.67 in KLP00170DEL

What Is a 17 mm / 0.67 in Hole Cutter Used For?

This 17 mm / 0.67 in hole cutter is used to prepare a clean and controlled opening before large eyelets or compatible accessories are installed. It is suitable for tarpaulin, awning fabric, tents, banners, leather, bags, covers and technical textile materials where a large opening is required.

The tool prepares the hole only. It does not install eyelets, rivets or other accessories. After the opening is prepared, use a separate matching eyelet setting die to secure the selected eyelet to the material.

Hole Cutter vs. Eyelet Setting Die

A hole cutter prepares the opening in the material. An eyelet setting die closes and secures the eyelet after it is placed into the prepared opening. These are separate tools and should be selected according to the actual eyelet system.

Do not choose a setting die only by the hole diameter. Check the eyelet inner diameter, barrel height, washer structure, material thickness and press connection together.
