bright cut question

[tdelewis]

Just starting to try some bright cut. What kind of heel do you put on your flats? Do you use a radius heel? What degrees are recommended?
Thanks

I hand push my bright cut,at least in silver, I use a 30* face and a 25* heel. But if you are using a hand-piece, You might go with a steeper face angle 35-50* depending on shat materiel you are cutting.

everyone is different but I usually use a very short and radiused 17 degree heel. Hope that helps

just straight heel for me. the only time i liked the radius heel was doing hobo nickels. 45-50 face- no more than 15 heel. i actually like a heel that's a bit less- 10 degrees or so.

i use & teach 371/2 face 0-20 heel long about 4-5 mm plus, everything polished to a mirror finish whats on your graver heel is what you put on the cut
