An oscillate wound coil (also known as traverse wound) is slit strip layered back and forth on a wider core or reel, like string wound on a fishing reel.  Oscillates can significantly improve your productivity by eliminating up to 90% of coil set-ups compared to pancake coils. Click here to learn more about the benefits of oscillate wound coils.

Slit coil typically has sharp edges with a small burr on one side.  Edging removes the sharpness by eliminating the burr or reshaping the contour of the edge of the strip all together.  Edging can improve safe handling of the material by your employees or customers, and it can prevent scratching or scraping with your product.  RMP’s edge quality is second to none.
