Chris, Thank you for nice comment, I tried very hard to get the dies even.

Ed, I had not thought about that, but you are absolutely correct about the need for a bit of wiggle room. Especially for dies like squaring dies that have to "mesh" a bit. If they're not "exact" (I know my dies are not) they will try to "Move" under pressure so they do line up. With even 12 tons of pressure something would have to give. Better for it to be "wiggle room" than the die itself. Flatting dies I wouldn't expect it to be as critical?

Ya'll just keep good info coming - THANK YOU.
