Description
2mm Hole Cutting Die Set All Metal for Thinner Materials
Create clean and accurately sized 2mm holes in fabric, interfaced fabrics and other thinner materials with this 2mm All Metal Hole Cutting Die Set, designed for use with the KAM DK93 Hand Press.
This all metal die uses a piercing style top die that passes through the matching hole in the metal bottom die, making it ideal for thinner materials where a small, accurately positioned hole is required.
Looking for a slightly smaller hole?
If your project requires a finer 1.5mm hole, the 1.5mm Hole Cutting Die for Thinner Materials is ideal for creating smaller, accurately positioned holes in fabric, canvas, interfaced fabrics and other thinner materials.
Working with thicker materials?
If you’re working with vinyl faux leather, genuine leather or other thicker bag making materials, I recommend using the 2mm Hole Cutting Dies for Thicker Materials. Their cutting design removes the material more cleanly and they have become my preferred choice for almost all of my bag making projects.
Why Bag Makers Love It

Designed for Thinner Materials
This die has been designed specifically for thinner materials where a piercing style hole is required.
- Cotton fabric.
- Interfaced fabrics.
- Quilting cotton.
- Canvas.
- Lightweight bag making materials.
- Projects requiring accurately positioned small holes.
For vinyl faux leather, genuine leather and thicker bag making materials, I recommend using the Hole Cutting Dies designed for Thicker Materials as they produce a cleaner cut by removing the material rather than piercing it.
When to Use a 2mm Hole Cutting Die
This die creates a finished hole measuring approximately 2mm in diameter and is ideal whenever your project requires a small, accurately positioned opening.
- Preparing fine hardware holes.
- Creating accurately positioned pilot holes.
- Cutting consistent holes through fabric and interfaced fabrics.
- Preparing repeated project pieces.
- Projects specifying a 2mm hole.
Always test the hole size on an offcut made from the same material before cutting your finished project.
What Is Included
- 1 x Metal Top Hole Cutting Die (M8 Thread)
- 1 x Metal Flat Base Bottom Die (19mm Shank)
The two dies work together as a matching set to create clean 2mm holes.
How to Install the Die Set
- Screw the metal top die into the upper section of the KAM DK93 Hand Press.
- Place the metal flat base bottom die into the base of the press.
- Check that the top die lines up with the hole in the bottom die, then position your material over the bottom die.
- Lower the handle firmly to create the hole.
Helpful Tips from Chris
My favourite way to choose the right hole cutting die:
This all metal die is my preferred choice for thinner materials such as cotton fabrics and interfaced fabrics. When working with vinyl faux leather, genuine leather and thicker bag making materials, I personally use the Hole Cutting Dies designed for Thicker Materials as they remove the material more cleanly and produce neater results.
Another helpful tip is to test the hole size:
Different fabrics and stabilised materials can vary slightly in thickness and density. Testing the hole size on an offcut first helps ensure the best result before cutting your finished project.
