Where to Buy Punches & Pins for Swaging Dies

[marcusp323]

Took the plunge & bought a bunch of swaging equipment . Will probably be posting some die pics soon in hopes of identifying some of the various ones I have, but for the moment.............
Have quite a few punches & pins but was advised to get sets in .0005 increments. I see the purpose in doing so, but don't know where to purchase them. Looks like I can get gauge pins from Vermont Gauge for one of my point up dies (bet you can guess what happened there), but looking to get the ones like are in the pic. Any help is appreciated. PM or email finkelmk@gmail.com is best.
Thanks,
Mark

I don't think they have what he needs.

Not quite, though they had plenty of stuff to make some parts I needed for my setup.
I PM'd George a little bit ago, we'll see what happens. Thanks Tim.

Well, keep it simple is my advice. Don't try to use 3 different brands of jackets, and you'll not need to stockpile a ton of punches. Steer clear of J4, go with Sierra or Hines, Bart Sauter has stocked both at times. The taper is altogether different between the 2, so a different range is needed for either choice. As Tim said, George IS the man for your needs.

Too late. Already HAVE 3 different kinds of jackets that came with the stuff
Suppose I could sell off what I don't want though too. At least the J4s are older stuff, hear they're a bit better than what's out there today.
