
Bending some thicker or harder material may require the use of a special counterdie with a
1-
1/4” pin mounting hole. To install the counterdie with the larger hole the two reducer collars
(N) must be removed.

To do this loosen the (2) set screw (casting type counter die mount) or the 5/16 socket head
screws (welded type counterdie mount) and slip them out of the holes. Counter dies that use
the 1-
1/4” pin do not use these reducer collars.
Installing counterdie with 3/4" pin
Remove reducer collars to install 1-
1/4” counter die pin.
Material Insertion
1. Once the die set is properly installed, the material that matches the die can be inserted (I.E.
1-
1/4”tube would go into a die mark D-1250T-R***).
2. Open the counter die assembly and insert the material past the hook arm. The start of bend
mark is engraved with an “O” on the top of the die. Once the material is placed properly, the
counter die slide block assembly can be tightened.
