The cutting edge of the dies, is defined by the throat and the first tooth flank .. look at the line on the diagram , it explains it clearly . The text was written by the manufacturers themselves ...what more can I say . You guys cannot understand plain English ..

What the book says , the teeth guide the die , they don't cut

The manual explains that the teeth only guide the dies , they behave like a nut, the actual cutting is done by the angled section before the teeth .

My only set of dies

Thanks Andrew

I think there are other brands of dies that will fit the Coventry die heads , these brands are clones or copies of the original brand . Sutton , a tool company here in Australia , is one such brand. Must be many more out there.

Forgot to add. The Coventry die head manual is available for free download here

OK thanks .. seems like I need to look around for some dies !

I recently got hold of a Coventry die head , model CHS , I think it is the 1" version.

Do the actual dies change over from one size die head to the next size die head ? Or do you need a set of dies that are dedicated for each sized head ?

Thanks Mike

I think some of the Olympic Athletes do it for the love of it. , shooting and archery for example ... they get little in terms of monetary income. The families often spend fortunes to get them there ... endless driving to training .

I don't agree with concept of the Govt. sponsored Institutes of Sport ........ where spoilt brats live in and are pampered and given training by experts for years on end .

The big stars ...... most of them are too dumb to do anything else . Footballers are the same the world over. The boring after match interviews " yeah we goona win next time " is the whole vocabulary

Why are there so many accidents at airshows? I was watching a weekly series on tellie recently , they followed the RAF display team around to various shows . On a particular day, the RAF team were doing a show somewhere, sadly, on the same day at another air show , a Hawker Hunter crashed into a roadway killing a number of motorists, the Hunter pilot survived .

The twin engined fighter discussion had me thinking of Major Richard Bong , the USAAC's highest scoring ace of WW2 and the P38 . He flew the P38 in the South West Pacific theatre , Papua New Guinea mainly - one of the lesser know air combat campaigns of WW2 .

Hi

This method is effective

Never done it myself but . A ball peen hammer was commonly used to preform the rivet head , you hit the edges of the protruding shank with the hammer and then finish it off with the snap.

If the three 'H' slots in the chuck body are worn, allowing the jaws to move sideways , then the chuck will never be accurate .

The latest fad here is the ancestory.com search. Sometimes these searches can unearth the less than perfect past - better left alone. The chance you might discover all types of family secrets - previously unknown of half brothers and sisters ! This happened to somebody I know .

I discovered that my great great great grandfather was from Essex , his occupation was' Gentleman' and he was worth 16,000 quid . What did a Gentleman do ? Mike in Australia

Yes I do have a shed full of stuff ...Hmm it has become a problem . The old Parky will be outside for a while , it has been well oiled and is covered over . The Winters here in S.E. Australia are not as bad as other places can be. The mill may have been used in a munitions factory . I have seen other examples of wartime machinery with the 'war finish' tag .

The series 1 Land Rovers were popular around here , many farmers had one . The Land Rover was the only vehicle of its type available , apart from worn out WW2 Jeeps.

This old  Parkson has fallen into my greedy hands !

It may have been a wartime import . It came with a dividing head and vise .

The factory was in Shipley ? Bradford I think . Geography is not my strongest subject.

Mike
