Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/31/2017 4:48 pm Great example of how outward flow will move the details to the outer edges and be cut away with die trimming. The dies themselves must be trimmed on the circumference because of the expansion. Then a new rim offset cut in, the die face has a beveled edged (curved) which is where these letters become shallower and disappear. Edited by Crazyb0 12/31/2017 4:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
