Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 24, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted March 24, 2019 Google will show you a bunch of steel die benders. Honestly, it wouldn't be cost effective for me to go through all of that. Even if i already had a cutter, and the proper welding equip, and the bending equip, and the space to put all of that, ... the time I save cutting with the dies would be negated by teh time I spent making the dies. I'd have to be making DOZENS of each item to make it worth all of that. I'm not trying to talk anybody into OR out of making what they want to make. But I have dies that work great, made by others while I was earning money with something else, at a cost that pays for the die on the second or third cut. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
