Punch out your own or buy blanks?
I have just punched out a supply of round silver blanks from .7mm to 1.5mm from sheet. Inevitably there is waste on the sheet. My question....is it better to buy “ready made” from a supplier or diy with the inevitable cleaning and sometimes de burring and the crescent shaped waste?
I have just built a 2 ton hydraulic press for this and also for doming, but that may be the subject of a further comment.

So as mine is sterling silver could I theoretically melt the scrap into thin ingots and if I had a roller then role it out to produce some sheet? Sorry if this is a very basic question but this is a totally new ball game to me. I started just making a few bits of jewellery for fun but like topsy this has grown and I need to rise up another step.

No. Not at all. Good subject....”different workshops”. I have added and added to my bench and side bits to make more efficient and to house more bits etc....
