Knifekits Eyelets press dies for Kydex...
Hello !
I have a hand press (see picture below) but my dies split the back of the eyelets. I would like to wnow if I can use the Knifekits eyelets setting dies with my press ? What is the size (diameter) of the shaft of the knifekits dies ? In my press, the hole for dies is about 0.5" diameter. I have write two messages to Knifekits but I had no reply... Thank for your help ! Alain M-D http://www.miville-deschenes.com/amd_anglais/index.html |

I can measure the OD of the shaft of the dies in the morning, I just mounted mine in a 1/2 ton arbor press from Harbor Freight ( 19.99 on sale ) and cant remember the bit size I used to drill the holes. Thinking 1/2 inch but I aint slept much in the last 72 hours so dont hold me to that . Will let you know in the morning though
