Hello friends,

I realized that my die is a little bit loose, my pens couldn't grip well for that reason. There is a screw on the die to tighten it but I have no idea what tool I should use. Is there anyone with similar experience? Torx and allen keys didn't work well and I don't want to push it anymore.

Warm regards
Ahmet

I believe they are Allen head screws. I have an m14 from tapco, I'll look and see what mine is. Also, I'm sure you are aware, but the screw works oppositewhat you think. When you back out the screw (loosen it), the die gets tighter, meaning it may need a slightly smaller tenon.

Thank you. Tenon was like 13.85mm and the cap drill was 13.2mm diameter. That is the exact system I applied with M13 die.
