Explore our core OEM precision tooling catalog engineered for master jewellers, boutique artisans, and industrial hardware manufacturers across Lombardy.
Understanding punch clearances, heat treatment profiles, and alloy selection for micro-blanking soft and hard precious metals without edge distortion.
Each punch block and male die punch set is CNC-machined from ultra-dense D2 High-Carbon High-Chromium Tool Steel. Cryogenically treated to maintain a strict hardness range of HRC 58–62, our dies resist deformation under repetitive mechanical press impact.
Deformation during metal blanking occurs when the clearance between the punch pin and die hole is uneven. Our multi-axis CNC wire-EDM process yields a precise 0.015mm radial tolerance gap, delivering clean, razor-sharp disc perimeter cuts across gold, silver, brass, and platinum sheets.
Engineered with a subtle 2-degree angled punch face, our disc cutters slice progressively through sheet metal rather than slamming full surface area. This reduces the required hammer or press force by up to 35%, preserving the structural integrity of thin 24-gauge to heavy 14-gauge metal stocks.
Refer to our metallurgical benchmark table when choosing disc cutters for specific goldsmithing and luxury accessory production requirements in Milan.

From traditional goldsmithing studios near Via Monte Napoleone to industrial jewelry producers across Lombardy, precision tooling is the backbone of Italian luxury manufacturing.
Milan is the global capital of high fashion. Luxury leather goods designers require flawless circular, oval, and geometric metal discs for bag clasps, zipper pulls, and engraved logo charms. Our custom disc cutters punch clean brass, cupronickel, and sterling silver blanks ready for immediate polishing and PVD coating without requiring manual filing.
Master artisans in Milan and nearby Valenza create intricate domed pendants, layered coin jewelry, and micro-set gemstone mounts. Utilizing our disc cutters with high-hardness punches eliminates concavity on the cut rim, enabling seamless soldering onto bezel cups and ring shanks.
Milan's independent horological restorers and bespoke watchmakers depend on micro-disc cutters (3.0mm to 8.0mm) to fabricate custom dial discs, washer spacers, and movement cover plates from phosphor bronze and 18K yellow gold sheet stock.
As sustainability, micro-customization, and automated workshop integration reshape Italian jewelry production, tool engineering must adapt.
European Union sustainability mandates have prompted Milanese ateliers to adopt 100% recycled 925 silver and 18K gold. Recycled metal stock often exhibits micro-variations in work-hardening levels. Our heat-treated D2 disc cutters accommodate slight density shifts without dulling or chipping the cutting edge.
Modern fashion trends in Milan have expanded far beyond classic circular discs. Designers increasingly request custom-machined punch sets featuring asymmetrical teardrops, sharp-cornered hexagons, and distorted ovals. We offer complete OEM/ODM tooling services to turn CAD vector files into hardened punch-die sets.
Rather than relying on local retail middlemen with high markups, jewelry manufacturers and tool distributors in Milan are establishing direct sourcing contracts with certified overseas factories. This direct model enables full custom branding, specific alloy selection, and wholesale pricing advantages.
Founded in 2016 in Sialkot — a world-renowned center for precision steel forging and metallurgical crafting — Olfen Industries operates as an integrated OEM manufacturer for high-grade jewelry tools, barber shears, razors, and beauty implements.
We solve the core struggle faced by international jewelry brand owners and distributors: finding a reliable, quality-focused manufacturing partner. By uniting hand-finished forging traditions with CNC machining, laser logo engraving, and strict batch-level quality assurance, we supply premium tools to clients across Europe, North America, and worldwide.
Every production lot undergoes multi-stage inspections — from raw steel hardness analysis to final laser alignment testing. Unique batch tracking codes guarantee total accountability for wholesale buyers in Milan and international markets.
Addressing the technical, logistics, and customization queries of Italian purchasing managers, wholesale distributors, and atelier studio owners.
Whether you are a Milanese tool distributor, luxury jewelry atelier, or fashion hardware brand, contact our engineering team today to receive factory-direct pricing, technical guidance, and custom sample options.
