How does it do on the .025, 304 stainless? If good I may have to get one and just make up a hardened oval male and female for it. The way I do it now is pretty easy, cheating, but at the shop and I would rather do it at home and save my after work time for other projects. I see they have a heavy duty one too. Matter of fact I think we have one hanging around the shop. I will have to hunt it up. Thanks.

Paul, why not just make a die for the whole lip itself? Sounds like that and a foot press is the way they do it. Is there much to it?

You guys post some interesting stuff. I'm learning a lot about working sheet metal by following this thread.

Yes. We don't have a decent grinder for that type of work. Probably cost you over a thousand to have a tool and die maker make you one. My way is pretty simple for short runs, 20 or 30 that it isn't really worth me to bother. Besides if I can buy them i would probably do that. If I can't I don't mind make 20 or 30. |

All I have done with it so far is punch out holes in stainless that is the same thickness of the lips that NJTackle uses. Works real well for that.

I like your setup Doc. I can appreciate you accomplished machinist. I can hack thinks out with milling machine and lathe but to really do a good job + - 0001" It takes a pro.

That is what they use, so it must work. Thanks
