We received the test sample from Wilson and the tools perform well when the two operations are concentric but in our case they are not perfectly aligned and the emboss is wrong.
My understanding is that we should move the first operation to the outer track (which is not right away possible because the tool does not have a keyway) so that the striker does not move, so that once the turret rotates both operations are perfectly aligned.
The other option that comes to my mind is that we should buy a new 7.25 mm round tool but in "B" size instead.
My question is: is my reasoning right ? Can anyone advise what is the best way to do this ?
