I find that even "adjustable" split dies made in China are hopeless. One set (fortunately free with a load of other junk) cut far too deeply even when opened right up. Try to find some proper UK or European-made ones in high-speed steel by the likes of Dormer, Goliath, Hall, Osborne, SKF, Presto, etc. They often appear on eBay as complete or incomplete sets.
