If you’re ready to buy your own button making machine, you’ll want to know how to choose the right features. Listed below are some of the most important features of a button maker: easy interchangeability of molds, high production rate, and easy maintenance. Which features should you look for? Which machines have built-in cutters? Which ones require additional cutters? Here are a few other things to consider.
Easily interchangeable molds
One of the best features of a button making machine is its ability to use a variety of interchangeable molds. An ordinary button maker machine will only print a partial image, which will reduce the look of your finished buttons. The FASTTOBUY LYXM-DWM1 comes with 20 high-quality photographic papers to choose from. Its aluminum alloy casting structure ensures a durable mold.
Easy to use
If you’re planning to make your own buttons, an easy to use button making machine is your best option. These machines come with 100 or more button-making sets. These sets typically consist of a metal piece, a pin back, and a thin sheet of mylar. They are generally circular in shape and are designed to match the machine’s size. The best part is that you can make as many buttons as you like!
High production rate
When it comes to selecting a button making machine, there are a few important factors to keep in mind. The first is the production rate. The higher the production rate, the better. Some Chinese button machines cut corners in the casting process. Because aluminum is a soft metal, a screw handle that screws in the wrong way will ruin the threads. We’ve all done it. If you’ve bought a do-it-yourself desk, you likely used cheap screws that were specially sized to fit the furniture. While they’re inexpensive, they can strip out easily.
Easy to maintain
Your button making machine will need maintenance from time to time. While it may be tempting to disassemble the machine to make adjustments, this is not a good idea. Instead, gather a few items for a tune-up. These supplies include a 7/16″ wrench, a can of silicone spray lubricant, and paper towels. When using the silicone spray, remember to spray the machine only at locations marked with arrows. Avoid spraying the silicone on the button designs.
Types of buttons made with a button maker
A button maker makes both functional and non-functional buttons. Buttons that are functional are the ones that have a small hole on the back and a set of screws to attach them to fabric. They can be useful for items that are difficult to sew. Buttons that are non-functional are also known as “odd” buttons. You can make them to show support for a cause or for yourself.
