    Star sizing dies

    It’s been a while and I don’t recall who is making these.

    Any chance you need a .314"? As stated, Lathesmith retired. I was unable to find anyone else who could make them in a timely manner. I had lost my .314" somehow, and the only option at the moment is from Magma themselves. They had a new one to my door in 4 days. As it turns out on that day I also found my other .314", right where I had left it and looked half a dozen times, so now I have two of that size.

    It never fails does it. I'm surprised I don't have two of everything!

    It seems me that there was more than one vender on this forum who was making star dies? I make my own, None for sale.

    I bought some blank Star dies from "theperfesser" a while back. Haven't seen him around here in a while.

    There was two I was aware of. Neither do it any longer. Magma is the only current option outside of knowing a machinist with some spare time.
