Why button machines with steel dies make better buttons than button machines that use assembly rings made of plastic or aluminum.

Consider for a moment what takes place during the process of making a button.

Quite simply, you are transferring mechanical energy from your arm into the button machine's dies / assembly rings. The button design and the mylar covering are then pulled taut over the face of the button and the excess is tucked up underneath, in much the same way that making a bed tucks the sheets up under your mattress.

The back of the button also must be pressed into the front and the edge crimped together tightly to hold the butto together.

Due to its mass, steel dies facilitate this transfer of mechanical energy far more efficiently than plastic or aluminum assembly rings can. (It's the same reason why carpenters use hammers that are made of steel... not plastic or aluminum).

With its steel dies, buttons tha are made wih the Model 100 button machine will be "professional quality" and will have smooth, tightly crimped edges.

You simply cannot achieve this type of result with a button machine that uses plastic assembly rings to do the job.
