I have an older pepe disc cutter #196.00 in excellent condition
which will cut discs up to 1". I have never used it and was told by
one person that I should use a brass head mallet either 1 lb. or
2lbs. Another friend told me to use a leather mallet which I already
own. Before I purchase the brass mallet I thought I would ask what
you all suggest. Will the leather mallet be sufficient, or should I
get a brass mallet. If so, what weight would be best for a slender
woman.
I plan to cut 20 gauge sterling discs. Should the sterling be
annealed or is annealing not necessary.
Thank you in advance for your advice.
