I recently purchased this one via EBAY. The dies are cut for metric lugs
(mm²) but are fairly close to US sizes. I haven't looked to see how close they
may be for coax connectors though they are hex dies. The die is fairly simple
so if one has machining skills (and gear), it wouldn't be difficult to
fabricate an exact die.

The HF hydraulic press/die set is designed for ~#6 and larger electrical
wire lugs so using it for coax crimps is probably not a good idea.
Worked great for home/shop use, I think about $75 for an identical unit
on ebay/amazon. Greenlee pro unit $1500.
