I Need A Custom Tool Maker !

[RoosterShooter]

I need a custom punch made for my application. Someone mentioned the name Bob Beard. Does anyone know how to get in contact with him, or someone else that makes custom punches?

Depends on what you mean by "punch". You might talk with that little feller from TX custom dies. Never dealt with him, but people I know who have, say good things about them folks. And they do make "mallet dies", in case you weren't aware of that.

To give you guys an idea of what I'm looking for, I'm looking for a curved oblong punch that will cut a slot to allow a 1 5/16" slot like the one shown here.

Do you know what the size and radii are?

Like the man said, Texas Custom Dies. Draw EXACTLY what you want it to punch and send it to them telling what you want. I think it's around $125.

You can also check out Randy at Cut Rite Dies. Google can find one of their locations near you.

Thanks for the replies. I also contacted Mound Tool, which is advertised as Osborne's Custom Die people.

They wanted $250 for the same thing that TX Custom Dies said they would make for $125.
