Compound dies
Compound dies are simpler dies, often used when the quantities of parts produced don't warrant the expense of a progressive die. Compound dies can be large or small to handle varying thicknesses of metal--big and heavy duty for thick gauge metal; smaller for components.
There is some overlap in die descriptions: there are hybrid compound dies, which can exert force on the metal in different directions, and complex compound dies, which use nitrogen cylinders.
