Source, die shoes-sets?
Who sells light duty (cheap) die sets for light stamping and assembly. Need a couple new or lightly used for a school project. Maybe 3x5 opening. Can work around what I can find.

they have gotten somewhat hard to find. i'll check today to see if i still have a pile of them, if i do you can have one for shipping. you'll probably have to derust it to a degree.
i don't even know what danly sells them for, or if danly is still alive.

New sets have a fairly long leadtime unless you are talking an off the shelf item.
Anchor Canly stocks small die sets as a catalogue items.
For fab die sets, We use either Anchor Danly, Steelcraft, or Integrity Fab and Machine.
My preference is Integrity Fab, they send their grinding to a dedicated grind house, which typically results in a better end product. (anchor and steelcraft grind in house, We have often had issues with flatness from those two)

I designed a couple of testing rigs last year, using ones with maybe 5/8" pins, 4" x 6"
between pins.
Mcmaster carr $600.

I usually buy from Janesville Tool
They stock quite a bit so lead time is pretty quick.

I was thinking 3’x5’.
For something that small why wouldn’t you just make them?
Mill or grind a couple pieces flat, clamp together, a few small tack welds, drill & bore for pins, open holes for bushings and you have your die set. I bet you wouldn’t have 2hrs into both sets.

That is perfect. Going to make some type of simple die to go in to demonstrate. . Will it fit in flat rate box?
