Making a Die?

[Tenson]

Commercially they are done with a laser but one off simple ones with a large fret saw
you will never get enough pressure with that press to cut 4 at once in the middle
you may do 1 if the bolts are close to the cutter

It's starting to sound like I will get the job done faster by just sticking the sheet on my mill. Thanks for all your information!

Known as a steel rule die or knife.

Knw someone who uses them for leather , with a 17 ton clicker press...

and a card shaped form
