I'm looking for a source for sheetmetal "flaring dies" to make concave stamped holes in rollcage gussets. I'm not having much luck tracking them down.

They look like this:

and punch holes like this:

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks again!

Well, you learn something new every day. Mittler Brothers is about 40 minutes from my house! Looks like I'll be making a little trip!

I have always called them dimple dies. When I saw flaring i thought of a brake line kit.LOL

I have the Mittler Bros dies, very nice!
Some dies can crack aluminum sheet if the sheet is hard alloy, I've cracked 2024 sheet with my MB dies. Softer aluminum and sheet steel is fine.

They also make a punch/die combination.
