Hole Cutter 1 mm / 0.04 in PDV0010DEL

What Is a 1 mm / 0.04 in Hole Cutter Used For?

This 1 mm / 0.04 in hole cutter is designed for controlled micro-hole preparation before small accessory installation. It can be considered for fine pins, delicate decorative components, small fasteners, micro rivets, jewellery parts, stitching guides and detailed craft work where a very small opening is required.

This tool prepares the hole only. It does not install rivets, snaps, eyelets or other accessories. After the hole is prepared, use a separate compatible setting die matched to the actual accessory system.

When Is a 1 mm / 0.04 in Hole Appropriate?

A 1 mm / 0.04 in hole should be selected only when the actual pin, post, leg or connection part is technically compatible with that diameter. It is not a general-purpose hole size for every rivet, snap or eyelet.

• Fine pin and small connection applications
• Micro decorative components
• Fine-leg rivets or small fasteners, after measurement verification
• Jewellery, craft and textile-detail work
• Leather, synthetic leather, fabric, felt and cardboard preparation
• Stitching guides and detailed sample work

Hole Cutter vs. Setting Die

A Hole Cutter creates the opening in the material. A Setting Die installs and secures the selected accessory after the opening is prepared. These tools perform different steps and should not be treated as interchangeable.

For rivet and snap applications, check the actual post or leg diameter, material thickness, surface firmness and matching setting die before ordering.
