Woodward Fab 1/2" Dia. Punch & Flare Dimple Die Set - PF3A

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.

• Designed to strengthen panels
• 1/2" Diameter
• Punch and Flare Dimple Dies
• Work up to 1/16" (16 gauge) mild steel or 14 Gauge aluminum

• Dimple dies can be used with various tools such as benchtop presses, hydraulic presses, or even handheld punch and die sets.

Start with small pilot hole and by tightening the provided bolt the tool will first punch the hole and by continuing to tighten the bolt a beautiful, uniform dimple will be formed to strengthen the metal.
