I'm having trouble figuring out how to make deep enough impressions for dog tags. Ideally I'd like to be on 12-10g aluminum. I've used the 4mm tool and I can never get it quite deep enough that I feel the rhinestones would be secured when glued. A bit frustrating. Any recommendations or is something like that done with a different tool or machine maybe? Thank you!
You can get some pin punches from a hardware store. They are very similar to this and comes in different sizes. HOWEVER, if you dont need different sizes, this tool is really best. Depending on the punches, you would need to put in quite a bit of work and precision into sanding and buffing the edges around down as they have put holes in some of my pieces.lol and if you dont evenly file the edges you wont get a good divit forbyour gem. I have on of these from them amd i use it most as it was made specifically for this and works perfectly every time. I only use the pin punches for my super big gems or teeny tiny gems. :):)
You sure can if you have enough space on your band and just remember to punch your little divet. You would need to use a rind mandrel to set your ring on for punching.
Hi Emmy. It comes in and out of stock. If you haven't gotten one already, make sure you are on the product notification list. beaducation.com/p/6524-crystals-beads-flat-back-crystal-setter-punch-for-2-6mm-flat-back-crystals-beaducation-original
I love the rings that you are wearing! Can you do a tutorial on those as well? Sorry! A little off topic!
I wish! I didn’t make the rings.
Finally a video that’s helpful what type of glue do is that where can I get it?
Thanks for the feedback. That is HypoCement glue and you can purchase it here beaducation.com/products/mm004
What is the size of your flat wire? And your steel stamp? Thank you
The flat wire is 5mm x 1mm or you can use our 5mm x 1.5mm, even our 7mm x 1mm would work. The stamps vary in size
Does it work on stainless steel?
Not really. It's just too much metal to move for such a hard metal
Thanks for the tutorial! Which blank is the Luke and Sam blank? Can you provide a link to that product? Thanks!

The punch is super helpful. you may need a heavier hammer? (2lb)
please make more videos!!
I'm wondering if I could use this punch and glue in quartz crystals or if it just works with those glass crystals?
As long as they flat backs, they should work :)
@@beaducation ok awesome thanks!!
Does it come in different sizes?
Not yet. No plans for other sizes as of now.

Are you able to do these on rings ?
You sure can if you have enough space on your band and just remember to punch your little divet. You would need to use a rind mandrel to set your ring on for punching.
Do you know when the flat back punch will be available again?

Do you know of a tool like this that can be used on wood?
Yes I think it would work great on wood.
From where can I get flatback crystals ?

Have you tried it on a bracelet blank?
absolutely. It works on anything soft enough to easily press into.
