    ring blanks and inside diameter 

    OK folks, I'm confused.  The problem is that I can make an argument
    for either side of this internal debate, so I figured I'd go to "the
    pros" and see what you have to say. 

    Let's say I have a strip of metal that is 1mm thick and precisely 1"
    long.    If I form that into a circle, which circumference is
    precisely 1" - the outside, the inside, or the mid-point between the
    two?  In other terms, does the outside surface "stretch" or does the
    inside surface "compress" when forming the circle? 

    I'm trying to be much more precise in my creation of bezels, rather
    than simply hand-fitting them - that works for many cases, but not
    all, and this conceptual problem has been bugging me for a while.  

Thanks!
Karen Goeller
