I bought the best 5/8" hollow punch I could find and I have to sharpen it every two or three discs. That stuff is tough. "slowforty" - Sorry, but this stuff would eat a brass shell casing for lunch. I'm still kind of amazed that "Admiral" was even able to find a Shoemaker; there aren't any around here anymore.
