    Default Please help me save time

    Hello to all again, does anyone have any ideas. I want to cut large numbers 100++ of small squares of sterling silver in varied thickness's. So far I get Cooksons to cut long lengths of silver in different widths, normally 6mm or 8mm, I then laboriously mark a centre line, mark out each 6mm or 8mm square and cut them off with a hand saw, I then centre punch each little square, drill a small hole and polish each edge taking care to round off the corners. I use a tube cutter (chennier) for the lengths, hold the tiles in a pair of pliers when drilling and polishing and throw them in a tumble polisher when ready. It's just that it takes all day to do around 100 and there must be a quicker method. This is what I do with them.
