Together Xuron and I gave you the 2175ET Professional Sprue Cutter, now we're going to be bringing you something new. Read all about it:

Sounds great. Maybe you can get them to make a punch set like the old Waldron sets.

Why? The Waldron punches are still availble. They are now owned and produced by Roll Models.

As an alternative to $130 dollars for the two Waldron sets.

Like one master set and perhaps a hex set too.

If found that when I was shopping for the Waldron punches, the two sets have some overlap in sizes. I ended up picking the one that was the most practical, which turns out that it gets used rarely, but it comes in handly when it does.

Hex set...Hmmm I might have to give that some thought. What applications do you see it being used for?

I would imagine punching out scale hex nuts and bolt heads.

Yes bolt heads are the main use. Squares would be nice too! How about a master modeler punch set? The full range of round that Waldron offers plus hexs and squares!
