I have two Coventry die heads. The smallest is a 1/4" head (I know this because someone on here told me) but I am not sure what the bigger one is. The body is 2.5" diameter and it accepts dies of .250" thickness. I suspect it is 5/16" or 3/8" but I am not sure.

Does anyone know what size/capacity it as I would like to buy some dies for it.

The dies sound a bit big for 5/16" or 3/8", may be a 1/2" diehead. I'm not at home at the moment, so can't measure my selection of Coventry dies to confirm.

Regards,

Andrew

Mine is a made in Australia by Suttons copy, it says on it that its 5/16" and it takes 4mm (about 5/32&quot thick chasers. So I'm guessing that yours is at least 3/8"

cheers

Sorry about the silly winking emoticon, can't edit the stupid thing away, it's supposed to be a closing bracket.

………… and it accepts dies of .250" thickness.

Now that I'm back home I can confirm that 0.25" thick dies are for a 1/2" diehead.
