The second means includes the mixture being packed right into a metallic tube-like mold known as a billet press. Once the top of the press has been bolted on, hydraulics begin to cram the base of the billet press up towards the combination with extreme pressure.

This billet is then loaded onto one other machine which slides it firmly against a cutter with small holes in it, successfully whittling the log of graphite into slivers.
