Woodward Fab 13pc Punch & Flare Dimple Die Set - PF13

Designed to strengthen panels, they not only improve the strength but also the appearance of a panel.

Dimple dies are specialized tools used in the punching and flaring process. They are often used to create dimpled or countersunk holes with a raised edge or flange.

Dimple dies work by using a press or hydraulic tool to push the metal material into a die cavity, forming a countersunk depression. This process reduces the thickness of the metal around the hole, allowing it to be flush with the surface and creating a reinforced area for bolts or rivets.
