Installing Dies in
Model 816/817 Die Heads
The Semi-Automatic Die Head (Figure 11) for right
hand threads requires four sets of dies to thread pipe
ranging from 1 / " through 2". One set of dies is required
8
for each of the following pipe size ranges: (
and 3 / "), ( 1 / " and 3 / ") and (1" through 2"). Bolt threading
8 2 4
requires a separate set of of dies for each bolt size.
1. Depress handle so that camplate rests (Figure 11 –
Model 816/817 Die Head) against the stop. (As
shown).
2. Lay the Die Head down flat on a table or bench with
the numbers facing up.
3. Pull up on the plunger knob and push the handle all
the way to the left.
4. Select the correct dies for the size desired. (Size
marked on the back end or face of the dies.)
5. Numbers on the Dies must correspond with those on
the Die Head Slots. Insert Dies to the line marked on
the Dies – numbered edge up.
6. Rotate the handle back to the right so that the plunger
knob pops back down flush against the Die Head.
7. To set or adjust for desired size loosen the screw for
the desired position block size, move the block to the
right to make it Under-Size and to the left to make it
Over- Sized. When setting blocks for new dies start
with the position block on the middle mark and
adjust from there.
