Dimple Dies | How And Why You Should Use Them [FREE LESSON]

Losing weight without compromising strength is a constant battle in motorsports, and dimple dies are one proven way to achieve both.

While we don't need every tool in existence for every specific task, sometimes having the right tool on hand for tasks you do often will quickly pay for itself when it comes to saving time, giving repeatable results meaning your less likely to waste materials, and of course keeping your enjoyment and therefore motivation levels at their peak.

In this example, we're going to use a hole punch to remove the excess material from out sheet metal allowing us to use our dimple die to finish the job. A hole saw is another option, but it can be more difficult to ensure accuracy due to the lack of precision a hole saw typical offers when used on sheet metal.
