Hello All,
I was testing out some new drawing dies and decided to put together this little one. It's low carbon clad Wolfram Special with lots going on between the carbon migration and the cladding itself. It has a fairly curvy profile up until the last 45mm or so by the heel and atypically for my work, was water quenched.
Thanks for looking!
