So - I was dimpling my HS-801PP skins today. I started using the hand squeezer for all the outer holes where it would reach. Then started with the Avery Tools C-Frame Arbor. Unfortunately, the arbor bottom with the female die is too thick to reach the forward most hole in the center line. It can reach the rest, but the clearance near the nose bend is too tight. Any thoughts on how to dimple this hole?
I thought about pulling the metal plate that the die sits in off the arbor and using it on the end of a strong board cantilevered off the end of the table, but the clearance is still too tight. I also tried holding the female die in hand and whacking the male end with a hammer, but that didn't do much to deform the metal so.... open to suggestions.
Thanks,
