Seems I posted about these back in 2009 took me ages to not have to import them, and find a UK manufacturer.

So moving swiftly along I have some UK made ones coming.....I'll let you know how they perform.

Sizes: 2 1/2", 2", 1 1/2", 1" , 1/2"   Set  of 5

Stand back and watch me turn the '1Tonne' into Swiss cheese

[Brachunky]

Had to google that

[JamesH]

Ooh, new toys, nice. I expect it will all become very gusseted and race car like

[Ezz]

I've read on pirate were folk have made their own, they make a neat job..

[wildwood]

Just been crushing the bay for a 12 ton press

Then it's dimple time

[isle of man]

I seem to recall self stabber (Mark) had some fabricated, is that right?

[wildwood]

Yes Mark has a set and so did JJ our resident septic at the time.

Mark seems to have gone quiet for the moment.......maybe building a Jeep crushing Lardie based buggie to get back at us after all these years

[Dave69]

maybe true but the engine will still run out of revs before a jeep

[xr6jeeper]

How thick is the steel your dimpling, 12 ton press sounds howdy doody i have made them in the past but only small ones for zeus fastners on ally tin work

[wildwood]

Got some 2.6 spare but normally 1.6 when I get another 1 x2metre sheet.
Guy selling them says he's doing 3mm stuff at the moment with 12 ton press......so fingers crossed.

Maybe a way of cooling BD s 401......... dimple Die hood

 I made one from some gears a while ago, then bought rest from chap on ebay UK,they are well made,will post link to him later..have dimpled 3mm in a simple fly press

[wildwood]

Ah fly press.......love em....... Stops people trying to look over your shoulder

I have a 15 tonner, maxxed it out a couple years ago removing a pitman arm from the xj's steering box, chickened out at first until I found a huge piece of cardboard to act as a guard before letting rip, it didnt separate until I introduced some heat, then off it went with a serious kabang and a farrrrrkinel   

[Dave69]

did the same on some beetle from bushes, using a 20t works press and not realising the force applied until the forman suggested we stopped as it was at 18t and nothing had moved.

gas axe late with a bit of heat the ball joint fell apart and out.

[francisolya]

Got mine from this chap,seem ok.. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/291350799264?nav=SEARCH

[wildwood]

Yup. That's the guy.
Will supply what you want.....within reason, says mine will take a week as they are not all stock sizes......

[francisolya]

 I've not really tested mine but certainly look well made and good value plus a more traditional style with returned edge which I think is a nicer stronger dimple
