dagabu Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Karlos, cut stars are the traditional type for all canister shells. It allows you to pack the stars into the shells much better, and really lock the stars together. Round stars are like a sack of marbles, there is no way to pack and lock them in as well as cut or pumped to an extent. Commercially many canister shell manufacturers have moved to round and pumped stars primarily for economic reasons, but that doesn't mean cut stars are only used as cores. In fact, the only place I know that does that is traditional japanese shells. It's much easier to star straight from cores and roll the entire time. I am so ignorant... cut stars are older then rolled stars? I thought that cut stars were the new sliced bread. D
