Creative use of dies:
There are times when matching top and bottom dies are not exactly right for the work.
Consider using a small crown die in the top with a combination or curved die in the bottom.
Curved or combo dies in the top with flat in the bottom is another popular combination.
Note that our dies are commonly used for cold texturing and thin work where the dies are often touching.
This requires the best tool steel hardened and tempered to the optimum condition.
Things you seen done with our dies will wreck dies of lesser quality.
