I tried a thinner piece first with excellent success then a piece of the correct thickness required and the only thing I will require will be some lubricant during the press process as it has to pull the material in from both sides at the same time to bring it down into the bottom form. It just needs to be able to slide but I know it wont be a drama. I only need to press 4 of these so tooling neatness was not a priority and I don't think I need to make any for stock unless there is a few more of these around the place
That's it to date.
