The dimple die is an easy tool to overlook, but it has a vital role to play in applications ranging from motorsports to industrial production to artisan metal works. Used in combination with a strong press and a hole saw, dimple dies do what their name implies — they create a three-dimensional dimple out of an otherwise flat hole in a piece of sheet metal. There are many advantages to doing so, and Speedwerx Racing Products, are excited to share them with you. Once you've determined the size dimple or flange die is right for you, we make acquiring the hardware easy, too. ...read more
Using a Dimple Die in Australia
How a dimple die works is simple enough, you use a hole saw to cut a hole (or have holes pre-cut by laser or plasma in plates) and a hydraulic press with enough force to press the dies together against the hole in the metal, Why, though? What are the advantages you of using hardware such as this? Here are some of the key ways dimple dies can help you achieve a more professional look in the shop:
Improve the appearance of holes cut for light-weighting purposes. Removing metal from sheets to make racing cars, or to make other vehicles lighter and more agile, is a common practice, but some find the result to be less than aesthetically pleasing. A dimple die creates a more attractive "high end" look by changing the shape of the hole and giving it more character.
Increase the strength of the metal in question, such as plate steel. Did you think that this was all about good looks? Think again. By transforming the hole from a two-dimensional shape into a three-dimensional one, you make the metal more rigid and increase the strength of the plate. Dimple dies are an easier way to achieve durability and good looks at the same time.
Offer more versatile solutions in your shop, to your clients, and niche industries such as the marine and aerospace sectors. Don't restrict yourself to using dies only for automotive applications. They're excellent in other contexts, too.
The Benefits of a Dimple Die for Sale from Speedwerx Racing Products
The benefits of using dimple dies, in general, are clear to see, but what about the products we offer specifically? Why buy your die sets from Speedwerx? Consider the unique advantages we bring to the table for our clients:
We produce our metal dimple die to exceedingly high standards for the long-term satisfaction of our clients. At Speedwerx Racing Products, we use only the highest quality 4140 steel to machine each round dimple die we sell. Owing to the strength of such steel, you can count on these dies to create smooth, robust dimples over and over again no matter how often you stamp with them.
We've taken steps to ensure every die is strong enough to stand up to some heavy-duty applications, including dimpling chrome-molybdenum steel at thicknesses of up to 3.2 millimetres. It's no good when you can only handle the thinnest plates possible; we help you achieve strength even in thicker plates.
