Price is for one set - Die forming phenolic silhouette resin squares plus rubber tyre pads in 3x sizes

i have been pressing copper and brass for over 12 years using these materials

Phenolic resin board is a high-performance, engineered material made from thermosetting phenolic resins and cellulose fibers. It offers exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability, making it ideal for applications in electrical insulation, construction, and furniture manufacturing

Rubber pads are from upcycled slicks - used racing car tyres that have been chemically cleaned

Can be sawn - we use wood scroll saw blades, bandsaws + routers, files, abrasive pads to make our dies. You can produce clean, well defined dies - so please beware of newly sawn or drilled edges - they can be sharp !

So this is a launch item - if i can make time ? I will supply predrilled, shaped dies or if you have a sketch i can offer a price for custom
Size probably up to 300mm square/12"
