Title: Grommets Again.. sorry ...
Post by: Grebo on May 10, 2011, 07:55:10 am
I am sorry about this.
I am finally going to order the bits to make the osborne W1 button machine into my grommet press & there is a query whether or not osborne do the bits for spur grommets, they do, do them for the plain one's.
If it's a no, what do you think. Go for the plain grommets & use the machine I have making it dual purpose ( I don't do a lot of buttons). Or get another machine/press just for the spur grommets.  :'(

I use Stainless Steel spur and plain grommets and use the same set of dies for both

e leverage as my gro
ett press dose it just the way it's make kind of tall the gro
ett press Is lo GDR a d more length for the arm stroke.

I think you should buy this one!

It's a spare-zie from the shop. I'm trying to find a home for it. I'm sure it would love Spain. Probably'd cost as much to ship as it would for a plane ticket. Hey, now there's a thought!

Well if you will hand deliver  :P .   And where would I get the grommets from ?

That sounds promising then Allan, waiting for their reply.

One reason I stick to brass Mike, they take enough setting  ??? . Well if I have no joy with osborne I might consider converting to SS.
