    Machine I have has a changeable die so you can use different sized eyelets with it. Standard machine came with 12mm eyelets & cutter & that’s all I have ever used, never bothered to buy any other size cutter as I don’t see the need.

    Same as Martin, done all sizes of banner and only used 12mm metal and plastic, Don’t even know where the other die are.

    same here. 12mm / 1/2".

    bought it via ebay – same model as that sold by major eyelet retailer but £50 cheaper…gets a LOT of use 🙂

    eyelets are another matter. cheaper ones just don’t go through the better quality banners well due to the increase weave density…and customers note that they can rust (chrome & brass plated). worth spending a few extra £ on good ones.

    I seem to remember getting a flyer and their presses were a reasonable price too
