Finishing Up the Coin Press 

The press is capable of 250 tons. This coin in particular is in the 60 ton range.

The discs are just simple cutoffs, in terms of how they are made. I don't know if I mistakenly referred to them as coins, but they are just bushings for the table to slide in the chamber. If those weren't there I would use some kind of hard plastic...there are SO MANY varieties available these days, including some impregnated with lubricant, which would be exceptional in this application.

@@landisstudios5781 ahh i see, then i wrongfully assumed it was a plastic/fibre coin, i mentioned it because i know of official coins minted out of a fibrous bakelite - mostly tokens but there are also a few pattern pieces that was made in South Africa by the mint that was meant to distributed to schools for educational purposes but never did, this was back in the 30's but yeah anytime you run out of blanks, that stuff could suffice, captures sufficient detail

@@rdesousa8955 Ah! I see. Yes, I have seen some governmental stuff from around the world made from similar material. Tax tokens and the like. Nothing meant for wide circulation, but it is cool how well it performs as a material!

If you are referring to stamping steel...you are likely going to need a lot more pressure. Depending on size and shape of manufactured part.

@@landisstudios5781 2.3 mm thikness 24mm diameter St-37 steel (not hard) So how much pressure need for this details?

@@landisstudios5781 Thanks for replying. I need a coin pressed. Is that something you’d be interested in doing?

@@fuhk we keep pretty busy doin our own thing, so we aren't taking any custom work on right now. However if you want to send an email with some details we can at least look.
