Once again just thinking of a small task I would like to do where panels would need to have a pressed line in them for stiffness.
I do not have a swager and will not be buying one especially, but was thinking of using the lathe to make the dies and use the 1" arbour on the horizontal arm and the other part of the die in a bar in pillow bearing blocks bolted down to the mill table.
Max will be 1.6mm sheet steel or 2mm aluminium
The thing is I will only be driving from the arbour will this be OK or do both need to be driver, not done swaging before?
