A die, proper
Well, it’s been some time since I’ve made a die. This is a relatively simple one for a customer. I had some problems with alignment and some mixed up number on my part, but it seems to work adequately. As always, some pics…
So, here is the unpunched pin.
And here it is flattened… all while maintaining the angular alignment of the reed and guard.
initially it was a pain because the material would mash in between the guard and the plate but I solved that. Here are some more pics anyways…
Well, there ya go. Fun fun.
