We have made a few kydex sheaths and they turned out pretty nice after some practice..Well, we'er getting increasing requests for kydex sheaths so Id like to get away from the hand setter/anvil..You know for that proffesional rooled look on the rivets..The setter more flattens the backside instead of rolling it..Been looking at the dies from knifekits..The master series set for $35, It seems it could be used in a drill press with the right base..Anyone use these dies? if not what dies can you recommend?
Thanks
 
I have and have used the hand-setter - awful. I have the 3/16 and the 1/4 rivet dies from knifekits. They both work great - I don't typically use the 3/16 any more. Get the 1/4 and use it in your drill press and you will never look back.

I have a dedicated arbor press for mine, but the drill press will work, they don't need too much pressure.
