Title: Dimple die
Post by: Warthog on December 10, 2007, 07:26:46 PM

Not posted much for awhile, so thought i would chuck up a little project made up last week........

Bored at work, with lots of work work todo :?  But i had to see what all the fuss was about with these dimple dies (pirate4x4) So made up a couple 1" 3/4 and 1" Not exactly cutting edge but.........

Yeah i know you can buy them, but hey! I just like fiddling

The idea behind them (not just for looks) Is to strengthen aswell as lighten steel plate fabrictions. Baja trucks seem to use it, to good effect.

the idea is to reduce the chance of the metal fatigueing(sp) around a normal punched/cut hole
