Default Anyone have a PEMserter machine handy?

I would like to know the typical diameter of the punch/anvil where it
goes into the machine. Stated as 3/8" but not whether the hole is made
a bit oversize, the shaft a bit under, or both.

Is there some standard? Metric guide pins seem to be symmetric- holes
5-14 microns oversize and pins 5-14 microns undersize.

(I'm making a punch and anvil and fitting it to a non-PEMserter press,
but it would be nice to make it so it could accept the standard PEM
tooling- it's not insanely expensive and is no doubt made properly)

P.S. I did ask PEM's support folks, but nobody there could help- maybe
they're all off on vacation.


Best regards,
