Features of Woodward Fab’s Dimple Dies

Available in sets or individual units, dimple dies are known as the best-designed and engineered dies in the market today. Manufactured to precise tolerances, they are best suitable for mild steel or material as thick as 16 gauge. A few amongst the several prominent features of the dies we offer include;

• Effortlessly punch holes, create flares, or enhance existing holes with a single tool, providing unmatched flexibility in your projects.
• These dimple dies to require the drilling or punching of a pilot hole, then placing the male and female dies on either side of the metal and tightening together using the supplied draw stud. Standard socket wrenches can be used by hand to complete the dimple.  
• Our hardened cutting edges ensure clean, precise cuts every time, minimizing the need for rework and enhancing the overall quality of your finished product.
• Designed to punch and dies through up to 16 gauge (1/16”) mild steel or 14 gauge aluminum, these dimple dies tools are suitable for a wide range of applications.
• Requires only a 1/2” pilot hole for quick setup, allowing you to get to work without delay.
• Each set comes with a draw bar bolt for secure attachment, ensuring stability during use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Dimple Dies

Dimple dies set are specialized tools used in metalworking to create a countersunk hole or dimple in sheet metal. They are commonly used in automotive, aviation, and fabrication industries to add strength and rigidity to metal components.

Dimple dies work by using a dimple die press or hydraulic tool to push the metal material into a die cavity, forming a countersunk depression. This process reduces the thickness of the metal around the hole, allowing it to be flush with the surface and creating a reinforced area for bolts or rivets. What are the benefits of using dimple dies?

Using dimple dies set and die punch offers several advantages, including improved structural integrity, reduced weight in sheet metal components, and enhanced aesthetics. Additionally, dimpling ensures a secure fit for fasteners, preventing them from protruding and causing interference issues.

Dimple dies are typically designed for use with various sheet metal materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The choice of material may affect the size and type of dimple die required.

Dimple dies come in various sizes and shapes, ranging from small dimples for lightweight applications to larger dimples for heavy-duty structures. Common shapes include round, square, and rectangular dimples, each serving specific purposes based on the project requirements.

Yes, dimple dies set or punch dies set can be used with various tools such as benchtop presses, hydraulic presses, or even handheld punch and die sets. The compatibility depends on the die's size and the capabilities of the chosen tool.

Dimple dies are designed to handle specific ranges of material thicknesses. It's essential to select the appropriate metal die that matches the thickness of the metal you're working with to achieve optimal results.

Yes, safety is paramount when working with any metalworking tools, including dimple dies. Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and eye protection, to avoid injury. Additionally, ensure that the metal material is securely clamped during the dimpling process.
