Yes. We don't have a decent grinder for that type of work. Probably cost you over a thousand to have a tool and die maker make you one. My way is pretty simple for short runs, 20 or 30 that it isn't really worth me to bother. Besides if I can buy them i would probably do that. If I can't I don't mind make 20 or 30.
