How do you remove a snap ? How do you know what plastic die to use with the various snap sets? I see a mark on the die but hard to read

You can use a screw driver to remove the snap. Push it between the front & back & twist it. Do several times until it comes apart. To find the right size did, lay the outside of the snap-the piece with the pointy tip- on the different die, then use the one that best fits. They are small to large.

There is a small indentation in the plastic that I believe is meant to punch a hole. That's what I did with a screw driver and hammer. Works great.

They have a taper crimp. Which I am not sold on...I prefer the Dillon crimp die. BUT there is a significant price difference.

I purchased this and the dies are definitely removable. I'm not sure who u would purchase new dies from though. Best of luck. :)

use 1 and 2 together-2 is for shine button top(outside top) 1 is for outer ring of snap that is inside use marine screw in or use 3 and 4 together - 3 is for inside ring of inside( sure fit inside 3 die , it will hold it) 4 - is for flat back of snap( inside backside)

The best way to deal with a pin in a plastic hole is to flatten the end of the pin and re-insert; same way watch bands keep the pin stuck. super-glue won't fit into the hole or stick to the plastic. I usually use a diagonal cutter to make the 'dent' on the end of the pin; I will make 2-3 dents rotated from each other (one set at "6" and "12" and one set at "3" and "9") I've used the trick dozens of times; haven't had do on this bottle but on myriad similar pins in plastic

Everything is done through the plastic. You can't adjust the focus or settings. Pretty much all you can do is take the snap shot by pressing hard on the plastic.

I also put electrical tape around the base where the emitter exits the case and at the end of the plastic on the emitter. This stops the shorting of the high voltage and forces more electrons out the end at the tip. That is where the snap comes from. Be sure to turn the ionizer off while taping as you will get shocked if you don't. Unless you enjoy that sort of thing

Any hardware store should care a similar plastic piece that has a nail in it...it is kind of like an oversize tack. You should be able to get a whole pack for a pretty cheap. Hope that helps. :) Or call the company and see if they can send you one.

For intricate dies, place the metal shim under the first plate and then the die with paper on top, followed by the second plate. Run through the Big Shot. The metal shim makes the design cut through the paper so the paper releases better.

I assume you are referring to the factory crimp die. I mainly use it to fix the flare at the case mouth that could cause cycling issues. I recommend you get it. Also take a look at the lee Classic turret press kit.

You have to cut the pieces out of a plastic sheet. I was not happy about that. I couldn't cut close enough on some and plastic was sticking out :/

This tool comes with Line 24 snap dies and #1 grommet dies according to the package label. I would try to find the grommets at Home Depot, but if you need a different size you'll need to order those dies which are quite expensive. Maybe you can order the dies you need with the tool.

It looks a lot trickier than it actually is! Just turn the plastic tip about a quarter turn counterclockwise and then pull it straight outwards and off it gently comes. I remember the first time I tried it getting so frustrated that I finally grabbed some plyers but that was not a good idea as it will only break the tip and make the cap unusable - it is so easy if you just turn the tip back and just pull off. :)

Yes, the die is the embossing plate. It has your specific information on it.

This probably sounds silly, but did you place the cartridge in the slot with the snap in front as seen in the picture of the cartridge? If so, be sure to push it in so that it clicks. If I remember correctly, the snap "pulls" forward and makes a clicking sound. Also, be sure the ink is facing down in the slot, being careful to keep it off your hands.
