this is super cool thanks for sharing
you, my friend have the holy grail to me. I always wondered who was buying all of these up and if anyone had a playable set. I'm in complete awe.
This is cool, I used to run a punch press and recognize the band and pilot holes used in the process. That would be a sample either at the end or beginning of the run to check specs before they run the whole coil.
Not sure if you are trolling me or not lol, but the footage of the coil tells you how many you run, depending on the coil size and the order of pieces needed, sometimes we would just run the extra bc it's not worth stopping. It could of been the end of the coil, there is a laser on the backside of the press when the band goes through it and there is no more material the laser is able to hit the sensor shutting off the press. When that happens it leaves a piece in the press like the OP or like I said before it could easily just be the first piece manually fed through press to check all the specs and tooling. The holes are"pilot" holes that push the band through the press. I took a pic of pilot tooling. After so many hundreds of thousands of "strokes" (out of context thread) the pilot wears down and needs replaced.
Those playing cards printing plates are so awesome … First time that I have even seen any of those … Thanks for sharing !!!
