Interesting! I bet they cost a wedge! I've always wanted to try the die sets I've see on YouTube which produce JSB clones using a die set and an arbour press. But never found a website for the company

Dave's Bits he makes are Expensive!!
But considering the workmanship and time involved... it is pretty cheap!!
His company of tool and die guy's are second to None!
All precision parts are hand ground and Diamond Polished!
Needless to say the fit and finish are amazing!!

But it sad to hear the duty on all of it makes it too expensive!!
