2 x Adapters for using threaded type dies in a Robur Press & vice versa

All,

I made an adapter so I can use my old threaded dies in my new Robur press and thought I would share.

You will need to push in a standard M6 bolt from the bottom and have the thread sticking out the top - I found a 12mm long bolt seems to work for my old threaded dies. Mine went in the bottom with a push fit and stayed in place with friction alone, but you could secure with adhesive if your bolt does not stay in securely with friction.

Here is the link for the Thingiverse files for the above threaded die to Robur press adapter

Below is the Robur press die to threaded press adapter (same link)

Enjoy!

Hello community and thanks @Waggy!!

A friend kindly printed your model and I'd say it works perfectly. I used a hammer to beat in the bolt and it holds nice and strong, just by friction. And well, when you screw it into a die, it actually reinforces the hold. 

You are right, 14mm length is better. I got 12mm and that works just find for flat dies and larger convex dies. However, for smaller convex dies (if they are also convex on the backside), the bolt will not reach the thread.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I read that same article last night  H.  I think epilame is too much headache for me, sources aren't always accurate, some conflicting. Such is the GRAVITY of this situation, Is it ok if i just STICK  to a thixotropic oil 🤣

      Not sure I follow along. As I stated in one of my previous posts, the epilame will remain intact between rubbing parts as long as the surface is lubricated by oil or grease. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but note how the epilame-treated surface is illustrated in @Waggy's post. It looks like the oil is exposed to a binder (epilame!) so that it can't move sideways.

      The epilame under the oil will also be removed  Unless the oil makes a barrier between the epilame and the escape teeth 😅 I think i need two strong coffees now 🤣

      If we use the rub-off epilame method of pallet stones (run dry for a few minutes before applying the epilame) where will the oil go/be transported when it is pushed away from the impulse surface by the escape wheel teeth? Onto the epilame-treated sections of the pallet! Once the oil has been applied/transported to the epilame-treated sections of the pallet where will it then go? Nowhere as the oil will remain on the epilame. So, perhaps the run-dry method defeats its intended purpose leaving the pallet impulse surfaces dry!? If, on the other hand, we do not remove the epilame from the pallet stones where the escape wheel teeth come in contact with them I'd expect more oil to remain where we want it and need it. Yes, I agree, that is the question, and my gut feeling tells me that is exactly the case. Epilame was created to have an adhesive trait and the oleophobic property is just a side effect.

      Might that be the viscous nature of oil resisting gravity H  ,  we have been comparing water and hydrophobic surfaces which are similar in principle but water is much less viscous than oil. I guess what we trying to discover is if epilame also has an adhesive trait as well as being oleophobic. Plus the oil dropet has very little mass for gravity to work on, like watching tiny water beads that can grip onto vertical glass until they are connected together to increase their mass then run down. Gravity isn't the only factor at play when oil is placed on pallet stones. The oil receives a lot of bashing that may push it out of position ? Thinking about it if the oil stays in position for 10 minutes enough time for the escape wheel to scrape off the epilame , then  a walled in lubrication has been achieved,  the epilame is no longer beneath the oil ( possibly mixed into the oil )
