#6 Grommet (3/4") Hole Cutter

#6 Grommet Hole Cutter (3/4" Inner Diameter)

Cut clean, consistent holes for grommet installation with the #6 Grommet Hole Cutter. Designed for #6 grommets with a 3/4" (6.35 mm) inner diameter, this tool helps you prep materials quickly and accurately before setting the grommet. It's a practical addition to any repair bench or field kit when you're working with fabric, vinyl, laminate, or other flexible materials that need a reinforced opening.

A properly cut hole is the foundation of a strong grommet install. Clean hole edges help the grommet roll and seat correctly, improving grip and reducing the chance of tearing under tension. If you're installing grommets for tie-down points, edges, covers, or replacement components, this cutter supports more repeatable results and faster turnaround.

Durable Drop-Forged Steel Construction

Manufactured from drop-forged steel, the #6 Grommet Hole Cutter is built to stand up to repeated strikes and routine use. The forged construction helps the cutter maintain durability through heavy shop cycles, making it a dependable tool for teams that install grommets regularly.

How to Use the #6 Hole Cutter

Using the cutter is straightforward and can be done quickly with the right setup and a controlled strike.

1) Support the Material

• Place a wood block or silicone block underneath the area where you'll cut.
• This protects the cutter edge and helps prevent damage from striking against a hard surface.

2) Position the Cutter

• Set the cutter exactly where the grommet will be installed.
• Keep the cutter upright and square to the material for a cleaner cut.

3) Strike and Cut

• Use a dead blow hammer to strike the cutter.
• Continue with controlled hits until the cutter passes cleanly through the material.

4) Install the Grommet

• After the hole is cut, install the grommet using the appropriate die setting tool.

Key Benefits

• Clean, repeatable holes: Helps improve grommet seating and overall holding strength.
• Correct sizing for #6 grommets: 3/4" (6.35 mm) inner diameter alignment.
• Durable forged construction: Drop-forged steel built for repeated striking.
• Fast workflow: Quick hole prep supports faster repairs and production runs.
• Better finished results: Cleaner edges help reduce tearing around the grommet under load.
