Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 07/29/2014 10:26 am This spot seems to be a common spot for grease. It makes me wonder what in the process contributes to this being so. How is the grease applied? Anyone know? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/30/2014 2:36 pm Probably several ways it could happen. Wiping down the dies with a cloth that has a light amount of grease on it. Grease on the hands while touching the die during setup, cleaning or adjustment. What looks like it would take a lot of grease when looking under a scope, would probably be so little to the operator?

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 07/30/2014 8:00 pm Thanks Coop. I was wondering if grease could work it's way down the tool and into the design details - a self lubricating tool. I thought a dispensing system might be in a semi-fixed position and feed grease during the run to keep things running smoothly. Just guessing wildly here. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/31/2014 09:30 am Probably anything is possible when you striking hundreds of coins a minute. Water/oil/grease and debris can happen and get struck into a coin and ride away or stick to the die. Report this Post to the Staff
