Professional Pleated Screen Eyelet Punch and Setting Die Set for 5–5.5 mm / 0.197–0.217 in Eyelets KLP00030SinSETPr

What Is the Professional Pleated Screen Eyelet Die Set?

This professional set combines two separate dies used to prepare pleated screen PVC strips and install compatible metal eyelets.

The punch die prepares a 5 mm / 0.197 in round hole in the PVC strip. The setting die then joins the eyelet and selected washer by forming the eyelet barrel over the washer.

Both dies are specially hardened and heat-treated. The set is intended for repeated workshop work, production lines and professional pleated screen applications.

Professional Set Contents

• Professional setting and crimping die for compatible 5–5.5 mm / 0.197–0.217 in pleated screen eyelets
• Professional PVC-strip punch die preparing a 5 mm / 0.197 in round hole

How Does It Differ from the Starter Set?

The starter and professional sets perform the same two basic operations: hole preparation and eyelet setting.

The professional version differs because both the punch die and the setting die are made from specially hardened, heat-treated steel. This construction is intended for applications where the same operations are repeated during workshop or production use.

Punching and Setting Are Separate Operations

What does the punch die do?

The punch die prepares a 5 mm / 0.197 in round opening for the eyelet barrel. It does not fasten the eyelet or washer.

What does the setting die do?

The setting die joins the eyelet and selected washer after the opening has been prepared. It does not cut or punch the PVC strip.

When Should This Set Be Selected?

• For compatible 5–5.5 mm / 0.197–0.217 in pleated screen eyelets
• When both PVC-strip punching and eyelet setting are required
• When both working dies must be made from hardened, heat-treated steel
• For repeated use with the same eyelet model
• For pleated screen workshops and production applications

Measurements and Compatibility

Eyelet Class and Prepared Hole Size

The 5–5.5 mm / 0.197–0.217 in value identifies the compatible eyelet-opening class. The punch die prepares a 5 mm / 0.197 in hole for the eyelet barrel.

The eyelet face and rear washer retain the PVC material surrounding the opening. The eyelet class and punched-hole diameter must therefore not be treated as the same measurement.

Is Every Eyelet in This Nominal Size Compatible?

No. Eyelets sold under the same nominal size may have different outer diameters, barrel heights, visible-face profiles and washer constructions.

Compatibility must not be determined from the nominal measurement alone. The actual eyelet and washer construction must match the setting die.

Standard and Extra-Long Eyelets

An extra-long eyelet may share the same inner-diameter class but require a different closing distance.

The punch die may be evaluated by the required hole size, but setting-die compatibility with an extra-long barrel must be checked separately.
