I have been experimenting with press fit caps. I think a good press fit cap solves a problem we experience to often. Customers pull when they should twist, or twist when they should pull[xx(]
Here is 3 different materials I have tried this with, A steel bushing, resin & ebonit. They all work! But it is time consuming and hand fitting. Bruce brought this up just now. If there is a way to mass produce the right press fitting it would be nice.
The ebonite material works the best using the press fit method, as the material being a rubber base(I think) gives it a little stretch and feels good mating with the nickle bushing.
Just some food for thought. What do you think Bruce? There has to be an easier way than by hand fitting. Also, there is a pic of the sterling silver clips I am working on [8D]
