guess i give the beeswax a try.... (the budget)
have never seen an adjustable die before.. looks like it wants to break if 
you tighten that screw..
maybe one could make an adjustable one by taking a "one dollar" die, 
cutting a slit in with
a angle grinder in one side (cool often) and put a key in to set new 
with....

are the not adjustable dies suited for stainless?
(i mean not the cheapest $1 ones but the just above average tools shop 
version)

(still wondering which motor power is needed....)
