I just got my Whitney #10 punch and I need to find some punches for it. Does anyone know I can buy some used ones? I'm going to have to them machined anyway....
I looked over their site first. That's why I'm looking for used punches. At roughly $20 a set and $12 a punch. I'm looking at about $72 in punch and die...
I posted a pic of my first flattened rings to folder 2. I haven´t made a punch yet (which will be round non material removing one), but the flattener is ready...
Ok so I made some oval rings and posted a pic of 'em to folder2. Is this what you´re getting at Pekka? Isn´t the OL area a bit small? This also reduces the...

... Hey!! Don't twist my words! I never said "perfectly" round. My own maille can't even be named perfectly round, since most of my rings are slightly oval....
Hallo Pekka, ... No, you can not twist my words, since you make others believe I said something while I did not say it at all. And I'm not an expert at all....
