THIS PRODUCT IS CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION

Our die adapters easily convert your Osborne machine into the world's most versatile press. Set fancy stones and spots, specialty snaps, rivets, and prongs, rhinestones and crystals... virtually any fastener or decoration available with the proper die. The only limit is your imagination! WB Exclusive!

Adapters also fit Handy Jr. with modification. Please ask for details before ordering.

Dimensions listed refer to the machine receiver diameter —shank diameters will be very slightly smaller ("nominal") than the opening. Be aware that vendors often use these numbers interchangeably —if ordering custom dies, specify shanks with nominal diameters that fit the machine opening(s).

With the exception of SOME 3/8" sets, top and bottom shanks are different! If you're not sure which adapters you need, we recommend purchasing one or both compete sets.

NOTE: KAM98 snap die shanks are 3/8" on top and 12mm on bottom. Allstarco AD-052 shanks are M8 on top and 3/8" on bottom. As far as we know, these are the only stock die sets with mixed US/metric shanks.

NOTE: Misaligned machines (e.g., Wade) will not produce good results. Our adapter will not correct this.

We offer a partial list of stock dies that should fit, but you are ultimately responsible for determining compatibility:

BOTTOM 19mm

19mm adapters sit ON TOP of the machine base and will decrease machine clearance.

Consider turning the shank of your new die to a smaller diameter if this is a problem.

Dies from the following manufacturers (not a complete list) use proprietary sizing and do NOT fit our adapters:

• Astor-Berning

• Cardenas

• Rowley Co.

• Standard Rivet —many of their spots, rivets, and gems should fit compatible dies.

• Stimpson

Dies for GoldStar, TEP and CSTEP machines (including ClipsShop, Grommet Mart [Micron], Hobby Trendy, Presmak, and Sewist Shop) are brand-specific and do NOT fit our adapters. Turkish dies are made with one of at least four (4) different 6mm threads and we gave up trying to keep them straight.

Dies from Weaver Leather have true (not nominal) 3/8" shanks. They will need to be turned to a slightly smaller diameter to fit our 3/8" shank adapter (make sure there is adequate machine clearance for their taller dies). Many of their "Fasteners & Adornments" should fit compatible dies.

Looking for pre-set rhinestones to set with your new die and adapter? Be aware that some manufacturers use rhinestone diameter as the size and others the rim. For example, Allstarco 11mm = Minkus Margo and Four Brothers 12mm. Always request samples!
