Hey Gary,

I’m assuming you plan to 3-D print the die. If that assumption is correct and you need .stl files then download the files from the following link but make sure after you do that you change the .DXF to .stl because they are stl files. I believe this forum won’t allow inclusion of .stl file so folks have to trick it by changing the extension to DXF.

If you want to turn one on the lathe then the following link has the Fusion 360 cad files

DIY dimple die available to anyone needing it

IAttached are updated drawings and Fusion 360 file. I modified the punch and die to eliminate the problem Bill P. had. In the old design if you cranked down on the bolt the dimple made the hole large enough that the drain practically fell through plus the dimple was conical. The new design should cause a depression around the existing hole to a depth of 1/8” but leave the metal around the hole flat so the drain lip sits flat. As of now that is theory…I need to turn one and try it but wanted…

If these links dont work for you let me know and I’ll se if I can get you what you need.

thx
