Bead Press Die - Plastic

$50.00   

Description:
Plastic Setting dies will set the silver cores better than anything I have used. The hard but flexible plastic will force the silver to to follow the contours of your bead. You will need to pull hard to get the most from these dies. I recommend using a pipe over the press handle to increase your leverage. The dies will become rough with use but will continue to do their job. Should they become too rough, I can repair them for $10. Plastic setting dies will set (1/4" and larger) silver core better than anything I have used.
