Default Looking for someone with Pullmax "Q" or "P" dies

If anyone has the tooling and would be willing to give me a hand, I'd like to send you some sheared mirror stainless and let you run it through the dies. It's thin stainless...probably 22 gauge. I'd expect it will get marked up a bit but I should be able to polish it out.

Kerry, just an FYI. We had a set in the shop once that were 5/8 shank, we used them to try out some 5/8 to 3/4 shank adapters for the guy who owned them. My findings were that the first couple inches seemed to close too much, the last couple not enough. So if you're going to make something a certain length, based on the dies that we used I would add a good 6" to the overall length to be able to cut the ends and have good consistent sizing end to end. But then, perhaps it was just the set we were using or the operators....

Kerry: I have Q dies for my P9. Thin stainless might be challenging.My experience with these dies yielded the same results as Robert. The start is pretty ugly.

Kerry, you can send, but it's far.

The edge remains intact. Stainless steel is a great material.
