<p>[QUOTE="charley, post: 7870845, member: 5372"]Sure. The feeder, as I recall (I am old) slides back to receive another blank planchet, and at this point, the knee is bent, and this raises the die above the collar. The die stake raises at the same time. Pretty sensitive tolerance and if off a bit, and if the planchet is also an issue, I can see that causing a problem.. I think there is an alarm if more than one planchet gets in the box, But I guess anything can happen. I wouldn't know from photos one way or another. I am more curious about the center concave tire appearance of the edge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
