Hand Press Machine Die for 8mm metal Snap Fasteners

Suits: 8mm metal snap fasteners

This die set suit the 8mm diameter metal snap fasteners

Description

Please Note: Snap fasteners are NOT the same as press studs
and require different dies or setters

The stud-fits into the socket to give the snap,
and is held in place through the fabric or leather with the base post

Snap Fastener Components

Cap – the part on the outside everyone sees

Socket – Parallel Spring Socket – fixed to the cap

Stud – Closed stud (crushes the eyelet to secure)

Eyelet – Closed on snap fasteners looks like a rivet post, this part is hidden (not seen)

The Dies (used on HPM)

Male and the female snap fastener dies for use on HPM, have 2 parts for each side.

The biggest parts have a 19mm diameter shaft that slips into the base hole of the hand press machine, the curved one to hold the snap cap, while securing the socket.

and the other to hold the closed eyelet while setting the stud, the socket should fit snuggly into the M8 threaded die which screws into the threaded upper arm of the hand press machine.

Pressing the handle down, rolls the snap cap post over inside the socket,
holding it securely in place,

setting the other side of the snap,

the eyelet – sits over the sprung spike of the 19mm base die

and the stud fits into the M8 threaded die

Compresses, or crushes the stud over the base post

It is very quick and easy to interchange between styles of setters and the sizes.

Hardest part of using these tools is being organised

And keeping parts in a spot easy to find for next time

Virtually no maintenance apart from maybe a light wipe over with light machine oil.
