Pancake Dies Instructions
Potter USA Pancake Die Information:
-
The pancake dies are designed to cut non-ferrous metal (copper, silver, brass, gold, nickel) 20 gauge and thicker to about 16 gauge.
-
They work best when the metal is hard. If the metal is too soft, you will get a burr and it will be difficult to remove your part from the die. DO NOT ANNEAL METAL FIRST.
-
The dies only work in one direction - with words FACE DOWN
-
I will send them to you pre-sprung so that you know where to put the metal.
-
If you use metal that is too thick or too thin, it is possible to damage the die.
-
As long as you stay within the recommended gauges, the dies should last you many years under normal use.
