This has been a long time plan.
It's probably one of the most labor intensive ways to make a bending die, but at least I didn't have to do it with a round file.

Run a pass, loosen the hold downs and rotate it a couple of degrees cinch it back up and run another pass. Do it enough times and you have a fairly smooth groove.

Best thing is, it works:)
