    Michaela: I used the RT system for years but haven't in recent times
    because of style changes in my work. First plan on going thru a lot
    of blades Next cutting the steel is fairly time consuming. If you
    decide to do it as I recall there are two thickness of the steel.
    Always go with the thicker, the thin will wear out faster and even
    bend. I would say 100 pieces may be about the max you can get from a
    die. 22 gage is about the thickest you can cut. A good alternative is
    David Shelton at Shel-tec, I think he is in Alburquerque. Perhaps
    someone here has info on him. He will cut out the designs for you,his
    prices were about 50.00 but that was at least 10 years ago so they
    may be more now if he indeed is still in operation. 

Good luck. Dave Owen
