Dear sir, mam both presented excellent demo. for blanking

[@johnmimist]

Did you say how thick the metal is and what the max thickness is? And do you have regular rectangles rings that can be soldered closed, or rectangle cuffs rather than rounded? 😊

How are the steel die's cut, cat they be made for other shapes as well

[@RioGrande1944]

Hi There, Thanks for asking! Many blanking dies are hand cut, and others are laser cut. This is a great process that can help jewelers create custom shapes for their work. For a little more information on it, you might like to see these videos featuring Jayne Redman. She shows how her rotational bench pin system helps in getting exact cuts for blanking dies: kzbin.infosearch?view_as=subscriber&query=jane+redman We hope this helps!

HI, Richard. I make the dies, and do custom work. This type of die started out as the 'RT Blanking System' , and that was a kit sold by Rio in the late 1980's and 1990's. Here is the original RT paper written by Roger Taylor and published in 1980. It was also the "instruction manual" included with the kit, and explains cutting the dies with jewelers saw blades. silversmithblogdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/project-report-no-12e_1-the-r-t-blanking-system-may-1980.pdf

What guage metal was used? What is the forming tool for the ring?

[@RioGrande1944]

Hi Linda, Thanks for asking! The vertical vise, split-die ring-forming kit, vise adapter and urethane hammer links are all available in the description above. Additionally, there is now a new set of tools for ring forming on the Bonny Doon hydraulic press. You can see that here: www.riogrande.com/product/bonny-doon-ring-forming-kit/110648 The blanking dies shown can cut up to 18ga sheet. (You can see them by searching key word "Blanking Die" on www.riogrande.com) Hope this helps, and thanks again for watching!
