What are Press Dies & Adapters? (Tutorial)

If you're using a snap press, rivet press, grommet press, or any other type of press setter, you'll need dies. What are dies, and how are they different from adapters?

The best/clear tutorial I've ever seen!

Thank you! I pulled out my old DK98 and want to start using it again, but the new adapters were a little confusing.

I can not believe these press companies have not expanded to include a few very simple attachments so rivets can be removed and added to inline & ice skates. What an amazing chunk of business you are missing out on.

I couldn’t agree more I have the DK93 press and I’ve bought so many dies and I’m still having problems using it with the this machine. I think this is a scam to force one to buy dies for all the different snaps that are sold.

I'm trying to figure out how to measure the actual dies so i can find out if it will fit in the exact press I have. Does anyone know of a video explaining this?

[@GoblinRam1500]

So what’s the difference in using a kampsnap press vs just using an arbor press ?

[@MicheleHuffman-ud9or]

I have a bunch of snap buttons, how do I know which one goes to each other?

[@ThorbjrnKuhl]

I wish there was one simple standard instead of four. I also wish someone made a Systainer with all the different dies in convenient little boxes with a little piece of fabric/leather with the type of fastener the die works for, and a bunch of compartments for the actual fasteners.

can you share the measurements of the dies so that I can see if my existing dies will work with the machine? And if you can measure the thread pitch on the screw in dies that would be helpful. Thank you

[@julieplano8504]

Do the dies fit other make pressers

[@lindadavis6193]

[@ianngio]
