Looking For Clicker & Custom Dies.

Recommended Posts

I'm looking into getting a clicker / shop press so that I can cut out my most prominent holster models. I've figured it out, and I can get an extra holster made each day by simply using a clicker.

I will be using the clicker to double as a shop press for press forming holsters, so I would like to have at least a 15 ton press.

Where are a few places, pre- $500, where I can buy a clicker and custom dies?

For the information ....

With the dies I will be cutting 4 ounce leather to be doubled up, back to back, for one model holster I make, and all of the others will require enough pressure to cut at least 8 oz. leather. The area will need to be a maximum of 12 x 12 minimum 12 x 10.

No replies? Surely someone has some input in the 54 people who have viewed this thread. :P

Ok,

I use Texas Custom Dies for my dies, I have a Cobra hydraulic 10 ton clicker from Leather Machine Company for clicking and a custom 20 ton bottle jack press for pressing. A hydraulic or drop clicker will not work as a press as they do a complete stroke and recovery per initiation.

Call Heather at Texas Custom Dies, they make a bottle jack clicker that I have seen and is very well made.
