You could have spared us the story and just posted the first sentence.

But no, you needed to take up bandwidth and take 127 lines for that!

For the record the original enquirer asked for ANY suggestions or
information.
If yoiu dont approve of my posts then you shouldnt read them.
If the moderator of this news group thinks I should change the way I
post then its up to him to tell me, dont you think?

Hand milling is good for small stuff, but when you have to process some
125kgs of material then power milling is the way o go.
I tried to hand mill it but it was too much effort. I used a 3hp motor
running ar 1440 rpm, with a 3 in pulley and an a section vee belt
driving onto the 36in dia flywheel.
Hope this helps those who might have to do this one day.Im probably the
only one man band production drop stamper that uses all kinds of
techniques including those from the jewellery world.
