<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NeonBlurb, post: 2198502, member: 74855&quot;]I think up to now everyone has missed a detail of the OP: &quot;Basically I want an adult version of the elongated penny machine.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the supplied answers deal with standard presses that apply pressure in a single axis.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;elongated penny&quot; type machine works differently.&nbsp; It uses rollers that have an image engraved into the face of the roller to draw out a penny into an elongated ellipse while at the same time impressing a new design on one face.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is even more complex in terms of machining and fabrication than a single axis press.&nbsp; Your two biggest machining considerations will be:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Coming up with an engraved die surface machined onto a hardened roller</p><p><br /></p><p>and</p><p><br /></p><p>2) The bearing mounts for the rollers which must deal with TONS of thrust force</p><p><br /></p><p>Both of these problems have solutions in industry but I would not expect either to be &quot;cheap&quot; or &quot;easy&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Aside from the small issues of bringing this concept to reality, I really like the idea (at least for novelty&#039;s sake).&nbsp; If I understand the OP, you basically want to be able to toss a &quot;cheapo&quot; silver dollar into this thing and have the machine roll it out while impressing some design on it??&nbsp; Those die rollers are gonna be expensive <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
