coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/31/2020 8:46 pm Machine doubling. Note the affected area is flat, shelf like. The contour on that area was removed by the machine right after the strike. Nothing is actually enlarged, but is reduced a bit. Note on a doubled set of lips, the area is not flat, The contour is present. And the affected area is not the edge of the devices, but on the center of the devices. Hope this helps? Unlike Machine Doubling: Machine Doubling flattens and reduces the contour of the design and alters the outside edge of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
