    I've cut a lot of blanking dies; what you need is to cut the steel
    at the correct angle for the die to cut well, not a special blade.
    You can make a portable bench pin at the necessary angle if you
    don't want to buy the system (Bonneydoone also sells a system, check
    out their website) but easier yet is to have Sheltech cut the dies
    for you. You should find info on this in the archives. Donna in VA
