    Hi m_c

    I will be working with strips of 1mm aluminium so I dont think im gonna need major force applied
    to get a cut out. Surely 1/2 tonne force would do that providing that the dies were of decent
    quality.

    I do prefer the idea of having seperate dies for the job. Technically, I could put together a
    DXF file of a die that would do all three and maybe I will! when I get
    the fly press later on. For the mean time though, 3 reasonably durable dies in
    tool steel or something similiar will do the job just fine.

    My only current concern is how much those dies will cost me, but I'll worry about that at a later time
