I'd love to see some inexpensive swaging dies. I've got buckets of .40 S&W, and I'm surely never going to load that God forsaken caliber.

$150 X 100 = $15,000 Maybe your customer hope was off by one digit?
Heck, if $15K could set you up in CNC lathe business,, you could clerk at 7-11 for 6 months, and have the money,,
I thought you would need more like $150K advanced sales, to cover the machine, materials, possible heat treat needs, etc,,
and have a little left over to pay for electricity,,,
Not so ... I could buy a machine right now that's capable of making check makers for about $4300 .
Another $1500 to tool it up , $1000 for a small heat treat furnace
$500 for materials , $1000 for shipping.
$1000 or so for electric and scrap parts getting things dialed in .
Another $1000 or so for things unexpected.
And if things go smoothly ... The rest is the small reasonable profit .
Of course there is a few glitches in that fairy tale , mostly money and a lack of it
And a lack of working design that doesn't belong to someone else .
But it could be done
On the money aspect of it , I personally wouldn't invest my own money in it simply because I don't feel you could sell enough check makers fast enough to be a worthwhile investment
I am willing to up $60 and wait 6 months. Unfortunately 150$ (even if it is delivered in a week) -- would be a no go for me.
Just found a guy on Facebook making them for 60 bucks.

Please let us all know how that works out . sounds to good to be true to me. But I've been wrong many many times .
I am all stocked up. Dima made mine.
We were just talking about this here and I saw it in one of Facebook groups.

I'd like to buy cheaper/ crimp on GC. Very interested in off size calibers, like 11mm, things like that.
i have not been here for 5 or more years.. just read your comment on aluminum flashing. I get my flashing from home depot. 6in. wide role 10ft long .010in. thick. made my own blank maker using a lee sizing die and drilled out to .435 and a punch ram to fit inside to pop out the blanks.
