I’m In Love…Update

It’s been such a brief relationship but I knew from the first pounding of my heart…uh, hammer, that this was going to be a great love affair…

My Swanstrom disc cutter arrived yesterday…Merry Christmas to me from me….visions of sugarplums (uh, designs) dance in my head!

It cuts like butter and it leaves such a nice finish on the top…a nice rounded edge with just a tiny burr on the back side.

Some of my discs and my first seamless ring using the cutterDiscs

UPDATE: Here’s a video from Rio Grande showing how to make the seamless ring using the Swanstrom disc cutter….enjoy the magic!

Seamless ring? What's this? How does that work? Now I want one too! :-)

Oh geez, I'm drooling! Seamless rings. Very little burring. Cuts like butter.

I'm sold! Now I just need to save up the money.
