January 9, 20197 yr Hi all, I just picked up a 150kg Beché and it only came with one set of dies. I've been looking for a source for a new or used set. Anyone know of anything or where I could better start my search? Thanks!
January 9, 20197 yr Where in the world are you located? Have you read this yet? READ THIS FIRST I know a machinist that will make any dies you can give him dimensions for.
January 10, 20197 yr Author I've got a machinist, just trying to possibly find a set before paying to get custom ones made.

January 10, 20197 yr Author Cool, got it, but honestly if there were good dies at the right price it wouldn't matter where they came from though.

If the price is right then it can be cheaper then getting something made locally, even with the shipping. Thats why I bought a hammer in Germany instead of the one 20 miles from. With shipping it's still half the price!

I watched those "NASA" Nazel's at auction bring 25k and still not meet reserve a few weeks back...
January 10, 20197 yr Author Yea must be that tv show that shall not be named. I'm not collecting stuff, I'm trying to run a shop and not be broke.
