On this episode of Make It Kustom, I show you how to make an easy dimple die tool step by step. Anyone can do this at home with a grinder and a welder. I have used dimple dies in the past for the structural bracing on the Model A roadster project.

Great camera work and editing cannot be overlooked. Thank you Karl and Kristina... you bring a smile to many faces when they see a Make It Kustom video has been published. Cheers Mike!

Outstanding in all aspects mentioned, plus the sound quality was beyond compare. Total shocker for my first visit to your site. Looking forward to many future visits. Thank you K and K. If you can ever do without you metal maid keeping your shop clean I could use her service. I expect a price break though, she can leave her jewellers loop at home. No Karl, I know you don't do it. Do you know anyone that wants to buy a bike? It has no seat or handlebars. It's for someone that lost their ass and doesn't know which way to turn. 😂

I use a greased threaded rod through the center to compress them together. Even strong enough to dimple 3mm steel. Its a must when dimpling on the car when you can't fit the car in your shop press

@kazzTrismus 2 жыл бұрын

if you put the flange piece that youre going to grind on to the shaft and start grinding it will begin to spin....now its - its own lathe! get her spinning and hold your grinder hand steady . the threaded rod allows you to double nut/lock the flanged piece from jumping up / around. once youve done it for a few minutes it all makes sense. the grinder spins the piece and grinds all at the same time and because power is lost to spinning the grinding doesnt dig in very deep.... you could also weld first and put it in a drill then mount the drill in a vise. the cool part about making your own is you can make both pieces with steps in diameter to do 2 different hole sizes in 1 tool or add a crease into the flange/dimple make diamond or star or square etc dimple dies. time is cheap when its mine for me....lol

@ishsiriram8286 2 жыл бұрын

@@kazzTrismus There is another aspect that can be brought in here. make the the bottom and top piece to fit perfectly into one another without any clearance for the material thickness you want to dimple. ie. zero clearance. then make a few washers, each washer to be the thickness of the various sizes of plate you want to dimple. Then you just insert the relevant washer to match the material you want to punch. The washer will give you the relevant clearance needed.

@kazzTrismus 2 жыл бұрын

@@ishsiriram8286 leave the clearance...as washers will only make space in 1 direction.. If doing/wanting a more complex shape than a cone, precision fitting reduces the range of material thickness. details/features would require precision fitting on 2 axis at least. Too tight will = shear depending on design

Coming from a farming background, we always made the tools we didn't have. I never thought of making dimple dies though! I've been trying to get someone to lathe up a set but might give this a go. Australian prices would probably make it cheaper to buy a set than to buy the raw stock though.

This is the best part about outfitting your shop/garage with fabrication tools. You get to the point where you need a tool or part for your build and realize its quicker and easier to just make it how you want it then to shop around and wait for shipping etc. I think more project car builders should invest in this stuff and learn how to use it, very satisfying! 👍
