<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2630919, member: 66&quot;]On older die setup the die was held in place by set screws.&nbsp; If the hammer die (often the obv) was loose enough to rotate, it also had a tendency to fall out.&nbsp; So usually it was the ANVIL die that came loose and rotated.&nbsp; They still use set screws to hold the dies in place but the also grind a flat on the side of the die so the set screw can&#039;t &quot;slide around the die&quot; and let it rotate.&nbsp; But this flat is (or at least was) ground on the die body by hand.&nbsp; Rotate the die slightly and the grind the flat and it is now ground in the wrong location.&nbsp; Even if the set screws are tight and the dies aren&#039;t rotating they will still be &quot;rotated&quot; with respect to each other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
