Inexpensive Dimple Dies?

[turner66]

I'm looking for an inexpensive small or medium set of dimple dies for sheet metal (steel and aluminum). Maybe a set of around 3 dies or so in the 3/4" to 2" size range and less than ~$100? Have any favorites?

I've seen people 3D print these if you only need them for a few uses.

I doubt you'll be able to get three for $100 in that size range, but your cheapest route might be to shop Ebay and build a set.

This Amazon set is $43 for 1/2", 3/4" and 1", which is technically two sizes between 3/4" and 2".

The problem is when you start to look at bigger sizes the prices go up in a hurry. This 3pc 1.5", 1.75" & 2" seems cheap at $120, but that's already over-budget and none are small.

I buy the cheap Woodward Fab punch/die units each time I need a different size. I have good luck with them. Alas, they are a bit over your budget.
