[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 910373, member: 112"]No, it isn't possible. The zinc plate sits in a table that spins the plate at a high rate of speed. The die is held in something like a drill press and lowered down to the spinning plate. You ever tried to hold a piece of metal against a grinding wheel by hand ? It can't be done, not without bracing the metal against the edge of the gaurd anyway. Dies are not held by hand and polished. It's a machine.[/QUOTE]
