SWAG 8 Piece "Tube" Dimple Die Set (1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 1-3/4", 2", 2-1/2")


Whether it be for cosmetic applications or looking to improve the rigidity of plate steel, the SWAG dimple dies are capable of dimpling 3/16" steel.

Made in the USA out of domestic steel! These dimple dies are CNC machined out of 4140 quenched and tempered chromoly steel that has a tensile strength of 150,000 KSI. Each dimple die has a through hole drilled into both the male and female dies so they can be used in a few different ways. 

The first method is they can be used in any H frame hydraulic press where the material you are dimpling is small enough to fit between the vertical frame rails of the press. Simply drill the appropriate size hole using an industry standard hole saw, then insert the male and female dies to the correct orientation then using the hydraulic cylinder, press the dimple dies down to flare the metal.

The second method is they can be bolted together using a standard off the shelf grade 8 fasteners 3/4" dia bolt or 7/16" dia bolt depending upon which dimple die size you have. This method is ideal for large pieces of metal that are too large to fit in a H frame style press, dimpling on a vehicle or dimpling after the fact... "Hey we should have put a dimple die there..." Well now you can with the through hole design that is standard on every die set we produce.

The third method is they can be pressed together using a 10 Ton Hydraulic Knockout Punch Driver as shown in the picture above. Not sure what one is? Check out Ebay or Harbor Freight, they sell for ~$100.00 shipped to your door step and they are a real time saver if you are dimpling a large number of items or hard to reach dimple die locations. It includes a manual hand pump to apply hydraulic pressure to the punch set. The knock out punch set is a quality product as we have dimpled thousands of holes for years using this set up.

Are you looking to dimple dies holes that are close together but not have them overlap? If so, you need to position them so the outside diameter will not interfere with the other dimple died holes.

The overall outside diameter of the dimple dies are as follows:

  • .500" dimple die OD = 1.20"
  • .750" dimple die OD = 1.45"
  • 1.00" dimple die OD = 1.95"
  • 1.25" dimple die OD = 2.40"
  • 1.50" dimple die OD = 2.70"
  • 1.75" dimple die OD = 3.17"
  • 2.00" dimple die OD = 3.40"
  • 2.50" dimple die OD = 4.20"
The HF Knock Out Punch Set can be purchased for $90 HERE.

Great American made tool! I have only used the dies on 14gauge cold rolled steel and thinner, but they seem plenty capable of much more.

dimple die review

great dimple die set, seems to be great quality. used a few times and seems to be holding up as 4140 would expect. just wish I knew how much weight in tons is required to dimple die mild steel plate or other materials. trying to build a press and have no clues what's required for 1/8" or 3/16s. I did manage 12 gauge with a 12 ton press, but the 12 ton couldn't hane 1/8" I tired. figure a 20 ton is plenty for 1/8" mild steel but no clue if that's enough for 3/16" , and I'm questioning how a 3/16 plate would form and stretch. seems like that's a hard take for any dimple die or press. overal great dimple dies just don't know the limits yet.

Swag Dimple die set

I'm just a hobbyist, but after searching the internet for dimple dies, I decided to purchase them from SWAG. I've purchased a few things from them and have always been impressed with the quality, customer service, and prices (especially shipping, being in Hawaii). I used these dies on 1/8 and 3/16ths hot rolled steel and they performed flawlessly. Thanks Troy and the team at SWAG OFF ROAD.

Brian and the Team @ 4130 Chassis Workx

We cover all forms of race chassis fabrication from on-road to off-road, 2 wheels and 4 wheels. Dimpling is a part of our everyday process here. After letting an employee go, i had a set of 25 yr old dimple dies come up missing and at that point i was in the market for a new set when i found SWAG off road. Im EXTREMELY happy with the quality, We've used the dies on everything from .032 aluminum to 0.125 chromoly plate with great results. Cant beat the price point either. SWAG off road dimple dies are hands down the most bang for the buck!! Cant thank Troy enough for putting out a great, affordable and made in America product. looking forward to my next purchase with SWAG off road.

How thick of aluminum can they do?

SWAG Off Road

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in our products.

We recommend using 3/16" or thinner material. The profile of the dimple dies is designed for materials of those thicknesses. While you could technically dimple thicker aluminum, doing so will result in an incomplete dimple.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you,
SWAG Off Road
