Description Another industry first: shaped dimple dies. Set your fabwork apart from the crowd or use just the right shape to get the most weight benefit possible from your dimpling. Triangular holes in your tube gussets or square holes in your tie plates will cut more weight than round holes. The stars make a great traction surface on steps, too! How to use: Cut your shape out on a plasma table, laser cutter, or grinder. Use a bolt, H-frame press, ironworker, or knockout driver to dimple the hole with these dies. These are machined in the US out of 4140 chromoly, which is made and heat-treated here. Shapes are 1.5-2 inches tall. The max capacity is 1/8 inch plate steel. Plasma cutter drag tip stencils for .188″, .270″, .385″, .430″, .580″, and .662″ tip plasma cutters are available. Set includes: Shaped die for an oval. DXF and PDF files of cutout shapes for your use in producing these shapes.
