Does anyone have access to info, ( I think Dave Corbin had it ) from one of his books or other data. Regarding the needed size of "coin" and thickness of material, for jackets to be drawn from. I am working on a jacket making die and would like to be able to verify my thought process . PM with any leads if you have. Thanks in advance.
I ordered Dave Corbin's "Rediscover Swaging" but it will probably be a good week before it arrives. Once it gets here I would be happy to look if it is in there. Does either Corbin have something on their websites?
i did a quick glance through rediscover swaging, bulletins 1-3, ted smiths book, power swaging and some random printouts with no luck. I may have missed it going through as most of these were written in the 70s and not exactly indexed the greatest.
I think it was one of his computer programs, I may have it I will look tonight when I get home. What is the specifics on the finished jacket you want to produce? Also interested in how to make a die to produce jackets.Quote:

That is the one I needed! Thanks for that, I must have missed it or like you said might not have been up for long.Quote:

From what I understand of deep drawing, the base thickness of the jacket will be the same as that of strip thickness you punch your blank from. The total volume of the blank you start with will therefore equal the volume of your finished jacket, plus the trim length from earing etc. If you are changing the base thickness, you are no longer deep drawing you are extruding like Nosler do with their Solid Base projectile jackets. :)
