New pound coin

[Sd2 vending]

If your are a BEAVER vending operator. We've cracked it. After weeks of precision engineering we've adapted the current £1 beaver coin plate to suit both the new £1 coin as well as the £1 coin. So NO LOSS in revenues for the 6 months it takes to change the coins over. You can see our video here https://youtu.be/MSbn54gOUhI . If you have Beaver machines we can supply you with re-worked plates to suit the £1 mechanisms subject to quantity (you'll have to send your old £1 coin plates to us, once we've shipped our your new coin plates). Yes our plates are more expensive than Beaver Direct at the moment but we have to mill each plate individually rather than casting 1000's at a time, however the Beaver plates can only be used for new £1 coins NOT for both. Our dual £1 coin plates could save you 100's of pounds if not 1000's over the 6 month period depending on how popular your machines are over. If the customer only has a new £1 coin in their pocket and you have an old coin mechanism then you've lost the sale and visa versa

I started doing my coin mechs by grinding down a chinese one a few weeks ago. It took me about 2 hours to do 1 mech so I bought a load of coin carriers from Hurleys. Various types, new clenport, old clenport and chinese. The Chinese that Hurleys have had made are great, the old clenports are great but every single one of the newer type clenports I've done has taken me a good 30-45 mins because I've had to grind down the casing for the new coin carrier to work. Tonight I worked out that because of the design it's much quicker to grind the Clenport coin carriers than it is the chinese ones. It takes me about 10 mins to grind a clenport mech to work with the new coin as opposed to 45 mins and £4 to change the coin carrier and grind the casing. So Chinese = new coin carrier, old clenport = new coin carrier, new clenport = grind the coin mech.

Andy, maybe you have a faulty batch of clenport carriers.
Ive done about 45 clenport and they work a dream.
The chinese ones I had a problem with and returned them and the new batch work fine.

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd offer a little tip for grinding coin carriers. Try the Dremel 115 bit as an alternative to the grinding stones. This is a deep cutting blade. I've found it far quicker than the stones, really speeds things up. They are about £5 each, I've done 200+ mechs now and still on my first one

Cheers, Jay.

Top tip Jay. I ordered two, £7.94 with a FREE biro thrown in, arrived today and cut the grinding time down by about 75%.

Thanks

Im sure it was on this thread but I cant find it, where someone was having trouble removing a mech from an old Clemport machine. I had one today that was a nightmare, took me ages to get off and I nearly gave up. In the end I managed it by pulling the barrel towards the back of the tower. It gave me the extra space needed to release the mech. Hope this
helps.

Thanks for this tip, I got a couple of these off Amazon a couple of weeks ago after seeing your post and the difference compared to the aluminium oxide (pink) grinding stones is unbelievable. I was wearing down a grinding stone significantly after doing just 2 carriers but the 115 bit looks unchanged after doing loads and also cuts much quicker and more accurately, haven't used a rotary tool before so not really familiar with all the different bits and which is best for specific jobs.
