Swaging your own beaks

Just curious if you guys swage your own gear and if you do what is the tool you guys use.

Thanks

bench swage tool, cable cutters, go/no-go gauge, 7x19 aircraft cable and either al or cu ferrules.

304 stainless or galvanized steel 

If you use stainless cable ideally pair it with Cu ferrules vs Al to remove the galvanic corrosion potential.  

It has been inferred that a compressed sleeve on galvanized aircraft cable has more grip than one installed on 304 because the galvanized cable has coarser texture.

Steel and stainless steel ferrules are available, but you would need to have a compatible jaw on your press.
