The body is 2.5" diameter and it accepts dies of .250" thickness. I suspect it is 5/16" or 3/8" but I am not sure. Does anyone know what size/capacity it as I would like to buy some dies for it. Rik

So I'm guessing that yours is at least 3/8" cheers Bill Edited By Bill Pudney on 22/10/2013 10:02:27 Edited By Bill Pudney on 22/10/2013 10:02:59 Edited By Bill Pudney on 22/10/2013 10:03:28
