Looks simialr to the Qmax chassis punches that were around in the 70's.. ( I think they are still available? )

Yes John, still around. Bought a 5/8" about a year ago. I have about 12 of them. No soddin' 5/8" size though.
How is it you seem to have every size except the one you need ...
I felt sure I should have one. IIRC it was for B7G valve bases ...

Tidy work there John... that die - did you cut it on the lathe with an interrupted cut, or on the mill with a large cutter, or some other method?

Thanks for showing  :thumbup:

Hi
Ade
I turned the die to be a good fit in the sleve then just put it in the vice and milled the end with a big cutter
A bit dress up with a file
