Hole Punchers for Wire Mesh Filter Screens

[Ravenplume]

So, I am wanting to make a bunch of wire mesh filter screens to go in the pipe, bubbler, and bong's bowls; figuring 8mm or 9mm diameter is about right. I have the mesh picked out on Amazon; a stainless steel 30cmx100cm roll with .18mm holes.

Before I place my order there, I also need a punch that can handle this stuff. Will a leather punch work on this stuff, or would a paper punch even do the trick?

I would think either would work, though the leather would probably be better.
Good luck

A pair of scissors would do the trick.
A stainless steel frying pan cover screen from walmart will give a lifetime supply of screens for $8. I like to burn off my screen before cutting it.

I went ahead and ordered the mesh and the punch set last night. Figured the punch set will be useful for plenty of other things as well. Plus, this means I should even be able to make tiny filters for the toker as well.
