When ordering custom, all steel die sets, specify:
  1. This table shows accepted design dimensions. Any or all of these dimensions, however, can be changed to conform to customer's specifications of A, B, O, P, J, K, L, F or W, etc.
  2. All die sets are always made so that the punch holder can not be reversed on die holder. Type 4Ps are made with same diameter posts, but the right front post is offset 1/8" toward outside edge of die set.
  3. Any of these sets are available both with or without shank. Unless otherwise specified, shank is always located in middle of both A and B dimensions. For safety reasons, we supply only threaded shanks. See page 9 for Threaded Shank Selection Chart.
  4. Die sets of design other than shown in catalog can be furnished in steel or aluminum.
  5. Custom die sets may not be returned for credit.
  6. Sintered Bronze Bushings supplied unless otherwise specified.
