So I tried using the stripper die I made for my press. It was a 75% success! LOL!! The drift I made using a transfer punch started to melt because I forgot to cool between pressing and heating. The Drift rounded out so I had a bit of a time knocking it out of the head. Other than that issue it worked GREAT the 12T powerd thu the 11/4" piece of 4140 like nothing! I need to come up with a way to cool the Drift. Think im gonna find a small metal can I can stick in the lower stripper part of the die and between rounds cool with water or maybe a spray bottle of water?
