7 mm / 0.28 in Hole Cutter for Fabric, Leather and Eyelet Hole Preparation
This 7 mm / 0.28 in hole cutter is a hard steel cutting tool used for preparing round holes on fabric, leather, synthetic leather, cardboard, bags, belts and textile accessories. It is designed for pre-cutting the hole before installing compatible eyelets or other fastening hardware that requires a 7 mm / 0.28 in opening.
Used Before the Setting Stage
This product is not an eyelet setting die, snap setting die or rivet setting die. It is used before the setting process to prepare the hole in the material. A correctly prepared hole helps the hardware parts sit more consistently on the fabric or leather surface and supports a more controlled installation process.
7 mm / 0.28 in Hole Size
The 7 mm / 0.28 in size can be evaluated for larger textile hardware, eyelet hole preparation, bag making, belt applications and accessory production. Since actual hardware dimensions may vary by model, supplier, inner diameter, outside diameter, height and washer structure, the final component size should be checked before ordering.
Dimensional Tolerance and Material Thickness
Hole diameter, hardware size, material thickness, material stretch, setting die fit and press pressure should be evaluated together. Small dimensional differences may be tolerated by the setting tool in some thin and medium-weight materials. On thick fabrics, tarpaulin-like surfaces, multi-layer leather or rigid materials, this tolerance is reduced. A sample test is recommended before serial production.
Applications for Fabric, Leather, Bags and Belts
This cutter can be used for fabric production, leatherwork, synthetic leather goods, bag making, belt holes, cardboard products, textile accessories, craft projects, sample preparation and hole preparation before eyelet setting. The final hole quality may vary depending on material density, thickness and cutting support.

Usage Information
The hole cutter should be used with a suitable lower base or cutting support. For a cleaner cut, the material should be positioned securely, the cutter should be aligned vertically and controlled pressure should be applied. On hard or thick materials, the cutting edge should not be forced and should be checked regularly.

Before Ordering
The hole size should be selected according to the eyelet or accessory to be installed. If it will be used before setting eyelets or other hardware, the actual inner diameter, outside diameter, height, material thickness and setting die compatibility should be checked together. Thin materials may allow more tolerance, while thick fabrics, multi-layer leather and rigid materials reduce tolerance.
Not included: Eyelets, snap fasteners, rivets, setting dies, presses, hand tools, cutting boards, converter adapters and other auxiliary equipment are not included.
