Ok, im making a tube console for my ram, and the top part, of what will be an arm rest area, i want to make a piece of stainless that will bolt in place. I want the piece to have dimpled holes in it, strictly for looks obviously lol

My questions are these...

Im going to have the piece water jet cut from 16g stainless steel, and all the holes that i want dimpled also cut. When your dimpleing these pieces, how clean will the stainless stay? what i mean is, i want to polish the stainless or give it a satin finish, do the dimple dies make amy wear marks or anything around the hole that is being dimpled?

Is 16g stainless pretty easy to dimple?

anyone have some general dimple die advice or pointers?

and last but not least, does anyone have some dimple dies that would want to tackle this for me? I really dont want to have to buy a set of them, just to do these one pieces, but i may consider it. I would ship the piece to you, and have a envilope for you to just drop it in the mail box when its done...

heres what im working on, the pieces of stainess will be up top, i have that piece of card stock represending the stainless right now...

I just made a pair of 1.5" dimple dies. How big of a hole are you looking for? From what I have seen in other guys pictures is that if they are not cleaned up they will leave a mark in the material. I polished mine up to try and get away from the marks. I might be able to help you out with this. Depending on the hole size I might need to make another set.

well, i think im going to go ahead and buy the dimple die i want, and do them myself. It seems like the better alternative, just because i think im going to have a few of these to do in my interior, and sending all of them out seems to be a pita....

Has anyone used the dimple dies from chassis works inc.?

is 16g stainless to thick to use? for some resaon i cant find a pic of any stainless steel thats been given the dimple die treetment....
