I'm looking for a quote for approx 50 pair of watch hands cut from mild steel plate. ( Hands will be heat treated to a blue color , not sure which would be the best steel to use, we can discuss this.)
Thickness of hands 0.25mm- 0.3mm.
See attached DXF for shape and sizes
Size of hands are approx......
hour hands 14.05mm centre-tip, and 2.05mm wide
long minute hand 17.75mm centre-tip, 1.48mm wide
I'm guessing stamping would be the ideal way to do this, but tooling costs may be too high. So......water cut? laser? or ?
best regards, Kalvin
