help id some dies?
Another pile of junk I got at an auction...
Along with a bunch of chuck keys came about 20 of these things packed with foam in three small parts boxes: http://www3.sympatico.ca/doc/setofdies0.jpg http://www3.sympatico.ca/doc/setofdies1.jpg http://www3.sympatico.ca/doc/setofdies2.jpg Most people thought they were cutters but they all have slightly different face shapes (last pic) so I think they are parts for some sort of die. About 4 inches long. Look to be professionally made. They are marked with numbers from 1 to about 52.The one that I took pics of also has the number 3052263A-5391 reverse engraved on what might be the face of the die. Boxes have the numbers MX00751 marked in grease pencil. Look to be expensive so I'd hate to just pitch them. Can anyone help? Tanks, DOC |

help id some dies?
I think they look like die inserts for an injection molded part. These
inserts seem to have specific model # or some such data on them. Pete Stanaitis ----------------- wrote: Another pile of junk I got at an auction...

We used to run some cinci grinders that had a template in the back that a stylus followed to run the diamond wheel dresser.

These are the male part of a pair for making some metal part, as they have shearing edges as well as forming profiles. The female part you dont have, tho even if you did what would you use them for? if you had a press to put them in. Now if they were matching male and female tools of say rounds or other shapes you might have a market for them. Probably some military part for something. As for the metal, they will be tool steel hardened and tempered. Useful stuff if you can anneal it to use on something else. Hope this helps Ted |

Tanks, DOC It looks to me like the lettering is reversed, as though they were meant to mold or press a positive image into a part. jsw |
