Re: Dimple Dies

I bought some through Barbed Wire Off Road on pirate4x4.com. They have them for sale on ebay as well: http://stores.ebay.com/Barbed-Wire-Off- ... -DIES.html

Re: Dimple Dies
I bought my dies from
http://www.vansantent.com/sheet_metal_m ... e_dies.htm
there is a company on pirate4x4.com in the forum section that sells a less expensive version that people seem to like (of course I found out after buying my set)
engine turn was a 3" brown scotch brite pad on a hand held 10,000 rpm sander
move slow & steady to get the effect, not as nice as real engine turned material, but I like doing it under a candy powder coat color.

I'm pretty proud of these cantilever bellcranks I made. These were pretty much the final straw convincing me I needed to build my CNC table.
I have Light Racing dimple dies.

Hey ILean, you wouldn't share a drawing or file for that rear bumper would you? that thing is pretty cool looking.

Re: Dimple Dies
Love the finish you have there, I wonder would I be able to get something similar using a wet finish, say a colour mixed with clear and then clearcoat to finish?Streetwerkz wrote:Made some brochure holders for our showroom

If I had a lathe, then this would be a no brainer. In fact, I'm looking at mini lathes right now...HammerDownJustin wrote:Damn now I want a set of dies again..just cant decide if I want order or take the time to cut some on the lathe ..great work
