    The point that is missing from this discussion is that we mill the
    stock not because we want to save money, but because we must.
    Goldsmiths who still practice hand-fabrication know exactly what I
    mean. In hand-fabrication it makes a big difference whether 1mm. or
    0.87mm is used. I can order 1mm, but I cannot order 0.87mm. That is
    why rolling mill is a must in any shop practicing traditional
    techniques.
