Abstract
A gasket cutter with changeable and reversible dies and punches including a body having upper and lower opposed arm members, a cylindrical member slidingly engaged within said upper arm member to be raised and lowered by rotation of a handle attached to the cylindrical member, and a platen releasably secured to the lower arm member. A cylindrical punch and a ring die surrounding the punch are attached to the platen. The ring die includes a first and second inner diameter at first and second ends thereof creating with said punch a first and second gap, respectively. A reversible punch die having first and second opposed cutting edges is releasably attached to the cylindrical member so that the first or second cutting edge of the punch die descends into the first or second gap, thereby cutting a ring gasket of a desired size from a sheet of gasket material.
