I run an older National Machinery 3 die 1/2" boltmaker. I make 1" to 3" in 1/2-13 and 1/2-20 bolts at 80 ppm. I don't like to brag but I'm damn good at my job.
@@jplopez2893I know how to run and setup the National Machinery S3 ½inch and ⅜inch Boltmakers and Economy pointers ⅝ to ¼. Waterbury Farrel#3 Trim machines. My Job has mostly Waterbury Farrel sdds cold headers and the threading dept has a bunch of threaders I can't recall the name of. I don't actually run any of the cold headers. Just the Boltmakers.
I run old National single die roller bearing headers to make lead cores for ammunition. it's def a lot easier to cold form lead than steel, so we run them way over their intended speeds. They've also been modified a little for our specific application.
Everyone seems to be in the game so I’m gonna go all out hey everyone am a header pinch pointer and threader. I run any header from a WAFIOS nd90 at 1400 ppm, or nakashimada ns80 at 120ppm, to a 1inch toko open die at 50ppm. I can put drill points on parts as small as 1/8 at 500 ppm with a sheen tzar pincher, 1/4 parts at 300ppm with a Hartford number 1, or up to a 1 1/2in diamond point onto nails with an almighty Waterbury pointer. Last I tend to push my threaders to the max such as an EW Menn gw63 at 800ppm or shoving a 2in diameter bolt with 10 inches of thread through the 1948 Waterbury Farrel #100 at about 30 ppm
