Did the 'pointy' bit on the top die.
Tried using the four jaw on the rotary table one end of the top die and the tilting vice the other end. Setting this up proved quite a mission and I just couldn't get it right.
So I decided to just use the one tilting vice and see what happens. Luckily keeping the depth of cuts below .020" it worked quite well. Certainly better than I though it would, may be being 20mm thick helped.
Sorry about the photos - a bit smokey from the cutting fluid.
I'll take some photo's of the finished top die tomorrow.
