Finally get around to trying out this tool.
I wasn't overly impressed with the results but I think that was for two reasons. Firstly I have never used it before and it is tricky to use first go. Secondly, it needs a specific job so that I can taylor the dies to that job.
You can have general dies but I think I will gather more as each job arrives and I make ones to suit. The steel for the dies is just bright bar EN32B / 080A15, easily sought from any good steel stockholder.
It will be a great asset to the shop and I'm sure I will be using this more and more.
