[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 795807, member: 25383"] I've built dies from S5, S7, A2, D2 (forget that one), and a 0-1 and 0-6, and even 4350 pretreat steel. Seems like I made one forming die out of Air Die once, and that became a nightmare! I left too much stock in the I.D. to grind, and never could get it finished out!! I also made a set of 1-2-3 blocks at the sametime with .015" grind stock on each face. I still have them stashed away, and are about half ground! The easiest was 4350 that I later nitrided. A2 did just fine. Hated S7 and S5. D2 wasn't strong enough and cracked under pressure. For me to make another set of dies, it would probably be A2 or 4350 pretreat steel gary [/QUOTE]
