Compound dies

Compound dies are 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 thickness of metal—big and heavy duty for thick gauge metal; smaller for components.

There is some overlap in die dscriptions: there are hybrid compound dies, which can exert force on the metal in different directions, and complex compound dies, which use nitrogen cylinders.
