There are also other beneficial attributes only found in the original jason's works dies, such as hardened stainless steel to maintain the high polish over a life time, where other's dies are not. These tools are crafted and hand polished by master aerospace machinists that use only the best materials and techniques. These machinists not only make the tooling for jason's works but also for nasa, u. Navy, space x, boeing, and others.
I not only sell the best coin ring tools but also make and sell my own coin rings and teach classes on how to make them. Com for class schedules and other tools available. There are a few dies available now that look similar to jason' works dies but they do not compare to the quality. Jason's works folding/reduction dies are guaranteed to be the best as they are polished on the inside for superior performance. The high polish reduces the force needed to reduce and gives a finished polish directly onto your ring's edge.
This is a full set of the universal double sided folding and reducing dies ranging from. 7" to 1.6" openings at 17 degrees for optimal folding and reducing. These dies can be used in conjunction with the stabilizer folding cones and mandrels to fold u. Dime to silver eagle sized coins leaving no mark on the inside of the coin.
This die can also be used to fold and reduce similar sized coins for final sizing of coin rings. These dies can be used in conjunction with each other to pretty much fold and reduce all coins. The 25 degree die option is for final sizing and shaping for the "fat tire" look, or synclasti. I like to use the 17 degree dies first for folding and initial reduction then swithc over to the 25's at the end.
Here are some testimonials i recently received regarding these tools. Just a quick note to you to thank you for always being ahead of the curve and providing us with the best tools i've ever used in this craft. Your dedication and willingness to help us all is incredibly inspiring. Thanks jason, i'm a huge fan, and a willing ambassador of your products. I have so much more confidence with the art of making rings since you sent me your manual, dies and folding cone so i wanted you to know i'm absolutely grateful. It definitely comes down to the equipment thank you. All dies are perfectly finished stainless steel with polished inner surface for smooth/easy coin making, and labeled on the side with each die size, as well as the jason's works name. Angus macgyver on apr 25, 2016. 5 out of 5 stars. I made 4 rings so far. For my first attempt i picked a random quarter because i didn't think it would turn out perfect without some practice. Strangely, all turned out amazing and look like the ones you make. The other 3 rings turned out perfect and i attribute it to your tools and videos because i wouldn't have known how to fix wobbly rings or any other problems if your training videos weren't so detailed and informative. I'll send you pics of these four rings tomorrow because i forgot my camera at work yesterday so i'll grab it when i go in. I'll probably try dry lube like you have soon. The quarter turned out perfect without it and that was the first one i made. I'll get the 17 degree die set shortly so i can make larger coins since the durston's stock die plate can't accommodate anything larger than a half dollar size. Damn this is a fun hobby thanks again for making the best commercially available coin ring making tools in the world. The quality, craftsmanship, designs, and ease-of-use are incredible totally worth the +$1000 i spent on them.The absolute highest quality in material. An improvement over the d2 steel, hardened stainless steel is used for these dies.
Extra attention to detail has been given to make sure there is a high polish to the inside faces of these dies to allow for the easiest reduction and folding even on the toughest coins. If you look closely at competitors dies, you can see a very rough finish on the face of the dies, this will adversely affect the efficiency of the dies. Hardened stainless steel offers the highest degree of efficiency for folding and reducing while having the highest in rust resistance.
No more rusty pitted dies. My tools are often imitated but never duplicated. If you have a question, you can always contact me through etsy.
