Having more success now.  The die I am using is not exactly the same waffle pattern but it?s close.  I used an old 1 ton press to hold the die and keep the travel up and down perfectly aligned (that?s the issue with the 12ton). I of course used the 12ton for the actual force, the 1 ton became purely a die holder.  Large bolt beveled out end to cup the bottom of the rivet.
