Leather belts have holes along the horizontal centerline of the belt to adjust the buckle. These holes can be created with different tools. Based on the buckle pin size, an appropriate size hollow punch can be used to create holes in a belt. Rotary leather whole punches are also used to punch holes in a leather belt. Since it is a bit tricky to punch all these holes on the horizontal centerline of the belt some additional tools like belt positioning rulers, or templates, can be used to get the best results.
Punching Ends of Belts
Round and curvy cuts at the end of the belts look good however they can be time-consuming to cut into shape with hand. That’s when you need round, half-round, V-shaped, or similar style strap end punches. Cutting the ends of belts to the desired shape can be quite easy with the help of these tools. Also, the end result usually looks better compared to cutting the shapes with a regular knife.
