Summary

Quick dimple die that you can make by stacking rings together. This dimple die allows the drain plug to sit flush with the bottom of the table. I used 3/16" steel but other thicknesses and stacking combinations could work. I just superglued the stack together, but if I were to do it again I would tack weld the rings together. On the second dimple, the alignment ring came apart making my dimple off-center to the drain hole. The bolt going through the center is 5/8". The fit is a bit loose in the table and on the bolt, but I think it's okay. The brass fitting is difficult to get tight because it will spin when you try to tighten it. To get around this I cut a slot in the brass fitting so I could somewhat hold it with a brake drum tool. I also installed the drain plug into the brass fitting outside of the machine using a vice. This stops the part where when you tighten the plug the fitting gets loose.

    Thanks for this it did not worked exactly but Still helped alot. I think the midele ring needs to be bigger. great idea

    It could use some adjustment, mostly I think it needs to bottom out and flatten a ring in the bottom of the hole. I used a thin 5/8 washer in the bottom of the larger side on the second side of my Crossfire PRO and it helped a little. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic idea and one of the most underrated files on FireShare.

    I used an elaborate stack of washers that worked out well but be aware... when the stainless stretched to form the dropped ledge the fitting now sits down into, the hole in the stainless enlarged quite a bit. I had to fashion a larger rubber washer since the edge of the brass drain fitting was now just barely on the edge of the hole. I think it will be ok but haven’t tried it yet.
