You are absolutely right Dennis, I have looked into laser cutting but really want to try my hand at making my own pancake dies. I already have a 20T hydraulic press so the cutting isn't a problem. I'll keep looking

One (ish) way to do blanks without an RT (or Knew Concepts saw) is to source a benchpeg that can tilt, or use wooden wedges on top of the peg to hold the metal at an angle. It's easier to hold a saw vertically than it is to judge a precise angle.
For Japanese inlay work I tilt the saw, but it's not a critical angle (about 15 degrees) so if I'm off it's not much of an issue.
I have an RT system that's gathering dust quietly on the shelf of shame....
Hello George,
Ahhhh that shelf of shame, the jewellers equivalent to the kitchen cabinet that holds the likes of the boiled egg slicer, breville sandwich toaster and electric spaghetti fork (or is that just me)?
However, if you would like to clear a space on your shelf I would be interested.
Thanks, Mark
