<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2665117, member: 22331&quot;]I apologize for my prior post which was based on a misunderstanding of your question pertaining to &quot;blank&quot; sheet processing of another era, rather than currently. DUH!</p><p><br /></p><p>Are you converting a 1000 gram commercial Silver &quot;ingot&quot;, understood to be ~11/16 inch thick into a sheet where you punch blanks for your newer products, by manually moving the sheet between the die halves? Do you jig for sheet positioning? Are you using a fly-wheel driven mechanical press for punching/forming?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m assuming you have a CAD system to generate IGES (or other format) software control input for a CNC Mill and Lathe. Do you have your own CNC die machining equipment? I ask because although I&#039;ve a simple machine shop for prototype work, and software generation equipment, I&#039;ve found the complex die machining to be more economically produced by specializing sub-contractors. I&#039;ve developed an excellent rapport with same, in a multi-million inhabitant metropolis.</p><p><br /></p><p>As others have suggested, a video tour of your facility would be appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand the creativity required to generate that which you produce, appreciate same, and the cautious method of singular implementation. I&#039;m of like successful ilk, which often has critics, but only admirers are of importance. I&#039;m the latter! KUDOS!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
