cumberlandhighpower Report post Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Hello folks, I am searching for an alternate die maker for my projects. Anyone know of a good die maker? I have had a bit of trouble with my current die maker...After 65 great dies ordered from them, I finally have a small issue with the most recent, and they flat refused to fix it, even if I paid for the correction... I can say I was flat out shocked and surprised by the lack of professionalism to say the least.... My recorse was to just throw the die in the scrap bin...And start over. But I am soured now on my die maker. Anyway, anyone know of a good die maker that is reasonable on price and turn around? All suggestions welcomed!

whinewine Report post Posted October 31, 2011 I've dealt with http://www.prorodeooriginals.com & they produced a quite complex die for me that was way under a competetor's $ quote (the competetor also basically said it was too complex to make, but they would try if I paid them $$$$). There was one minor thing that was missed on my die, but it was rectified immediately at no additional cost to me. They worked with me throughout the entire process. Very professional people!

whinewine Report post Posted November 1, 2011 Oh- and I forgot to mention- Prorodeooriginals' dies are full welded, (NOT just steel rule dies inset into wood). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted November 2, 2011 I have used and had extremely great luck with Texas Custom Dies (previously Big Sky Dies). They are based out of Mansfield, Texas and Heather or Rebecca are great to work with. I have referred a few others and they have had a great experience. good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
