the die is held in with duct tape
I have machined a flat spot on the stem if you decide to drill and tap the
bottom tool holder and insert a set screw to hold in the die

this is 16 gage stretched in a complete circle in about 4 minutes and no marking on the TOP side.
it does leave marks on the bottom side

Rick, you did a good job on your design. Looks like one from the old Metalshapers website. After years of using duct tape and also trying all sorts of set screws, keepers, flats, indents, pins and keys I just "stick" with the ducktape.
