Thank youRound bar with that’s been rounded over atone end. Drill press and slightly bigger opposite die at the bottom
should work
Edit: same kit but just use a hammer instead of drill press. It doesn’t need to be super accurate

I guess i would need the equipment to use the set to get the press done?
Great write upI did these with a hammer punch (after drilling the plain holes):
If it's the sort of thing you're after, you need a punch and die like this (any old steel will do for a few dozen holes - ignore the threaded hole; it's not relevant):
The smallest diameter of the punch is a pilot that is a close fit in the existing holes - this section needs to be long enough to locate in the pilot diameter of the die; the next diameter is the one that does the work and (in my case) 1mm larger. This needs to be long enough to pass through the finished hole with a bit to spare. (The second 'shoulder' is just where I've turned it down from a larger diameter, it doesn't do anything.)
The die has a hole through it to take the pilot and a larger hole deep enough to take the working part of the punch. The diameter is the working diameter of the punch plus twice the material thickness. It needs to be deep enough to allow the working part of the punch to pass fully through the finished hole plus a bit.
Drive the punch through with a whack from the hammer
Turn it over and wiggle the punch out
(It's not rocket science - it's a jet engine )
Hi do you know anyone that can?You could likely 3D print a punch and die for that.
HI Ive checked the site but not sure which one to order? was looking for the smallest one as the hole would be only 1mmAs already suggested by colnerov, the legitimate terminolgy for the tool is 'dimple die'.
Pick one to suit the diameter of the hole, pay your money and await delivery.
Mr Wile E Coyote could probably get the holes and dimples pre-formed from ACME. Grab a handful from the bag and throw into the pan for instant results. Clearly, if you want the dimples to face upwards as your picture, avoid buying the downwards-facing ones.
was looking for the smallest one as the hole would be only 1mm
Smallest listed there is 3/32" or 2.4mm.
If you need something suitable for a 1mm hole, they do not sell it.
For a small size, you might have to find someone to make one for you.
Do you happen to know the thickness of the metal from which the pan is made? Do you know (or can you measure from an old one that is known to work as you want) how high the dimple is raised and perhaps the diameter of the dimple?
Don't use aluminium for any cookware, unless you're looking forward to altzheimers.yes so the pans are Aluminium and 1.5″ Deep pizza pan. the old pans are about 2mm holes raised

Do you use aluminium foil?
There was a scare about it a few years ago, got everyone going out & buying stainless cookware, then it was disproved, as the wind changes on these things. Being an old cynic, was the rumour started by the stainless cookware manufacturers?Metals and the risk of dementia
There is little evidence to suggest that the effect of copper, zinc, iron or aluminium on the brain is related to increased dementia risk.www.alzheimers.org.uk
Don't think there's any evidence to suggest that at all. I'd think the risk of ingesting a significant amount from a cooking pan or utensil must be not worth worrying about. Do you use aluminium foil?
Quite so I have a few friends who work in aircraft production/maintenance so they were probably rightly concerned with fine atmospheric aluminium dust, but I think the levels shown to come off cookware are negligible.There was a scare about it a few years ago, got everyone going out & buying stainless cookware, then it was disproved, as the wind changes on these things.

I'd be far more worried about injesting teflon/coating from modied or scratched pans. I threw away a newish one recently for that reason (actually its in shed and may get reporposed..)Don't use aluminium for any cookware, unless you're looking forward to altzheimers.
