Looks good - what are you making that needs the re-inforcement ?

Thanks, it's actually more for aesthetics than re-enforcement. I need to build a couple of small enclosures for my flight sim build and the dimpled holes have a very aviation look to them. I'm also considering making wing ribs for an RC plane from aluminium. They would be cutout on my cnc and lighting holes added.

We don't doubt you for a minute but some of us (maybe me) don't know what the application/ end result is.

Took me a minute to understand what you were asking Steve. The die is used to press/form the 45 degree flange into the holes in the aluminium sheet.
