Windmill die jacket
I have recently obtained two windmills. I now have four. All are 10 x 15. The first two I use a snap on die jacket that fits perfectly. These are late 1950’s machines. The two presses I acquired are older, I think early 1950’s. My snap on jackets do not fit. They are too small to even go on the press. I have an “oddball” jacket that goes on, then secures with an allen set screw, and seems to work well. Does anyone know where to get another one of these type of jackets? Has anyone ever encountered this situation, and if so, how did you remedy this? Thanks, Steve
Letterpresskc,
Try www.barplate.com they can custom make a new jacket if you can send them specs from what you have. You can also try calling, they may have what you need in stock.
