    I have not used the RT Blanking system. The voices on Orchid have
    said they don't like it. I don't remember the details, perhaps you
    can find them in the archives. 

    The preferred method is to blank with a hydraulic press. You have
    have the pancake dies made by Dar Shelton of Shetech. 

    I've used his dies with my h. press and they work great. 

    You can also make the dies yourself, but there's a learning curve,
    it's hard and Dar does a great job for a great price.
