Can I change the dies to use different designs? They say die holders and I do not know quite well what they meant.

Yes, you can use different die designs. I have three die which one is for my library, one for my desk, and one which is generic in nature. They all work quite well. Though, as the instructions indicate, it does take just a little practice to get the designs to emboss just the way you wish. Enjoy.

You can change out the die, but when I tried to order a different address I had to order an entirely new system. The handle hurts your hand if you do a lot of envelopes and I've had complaints from older people that they can't read my address. I love the embossed look, but if I had to do it again, I'd go with an ink stamper like this: www.simplystamps.com/Address_Stamps-list.aspx

Hello Randal, if your tip has a collet use the straight non headed pins. Likely the headed pins wont fit. Check to be sure which pins you need. I keep both kinds on hand. I actually had to braze one on an older die set. Let me know how u come out.

Yep. Just take out the insert to handle the bigger dies. Remember to use a little blue Loctite when you reinsert the bushing, it has a tendency to work loose.

In most cases all dies are interchangeable. I use mostly Lee and Lyman Presses also an old Pacific. I have Lee, Forrester, Hornady, RCBS and other dies. They all interchange.

There are 2 sizing dies. One for use with brass already fired in your rifle, and the other for brass used in other guns. It's a bit more complicated to use, but I wish I could exchange my other dies for the Lee Precision Deluxe.

Yes just cut the sides to the size you want. I have found when I use these dies the card is actually not long enough. So I add paper to both sides.

Yes, it takes any standard dies from any manufacturer. I've worked with everything from lee, RCBS and Hornady, up do fancier stuff like Dillon and everything works like it's supposed to.

You can use a screw driver to remove the snap. Push it between the front & back & twist it. Do several times until it comes apart. To find the right size did, lay the outside of the snap-the piece with the pointy tip- on the different die, then use the one that best fits. They are small to large.

You cut individual letters to make the words you want to use. I prefer the sets that have one letter per die rather than the 9 die sets.

All of the RCBS die sets tell what size shell holder is needed for each caliber, good luck..

If you have the die and the base I don't see why not. I have both but am in the process of a move so haven't tried it yet.

Hello. I am really embarrassed. I didn't see anywhere that there was an unanswered question and here it is over 2 weeks later. Yes, still here. We're waiting on a die maker to finish making dies for our new upgraded stones. It still may be 4 or more weeks until we're restocked with the new cordierite 4-piece stones and hopefully no more than a week for the new 14.5" round stones (we're waiting on those for boxes). Sorry again for taking so long. I'll know in the future to go all the way in to this to look for unanswered questions. Joe

I believe you're referring to carbide and non carbide. Most all dies are now carbide and are what you should get.

if you have the newer style dies these will not work, you need the pin's with a head on them. If you remove the broken pin you'll see the head on it

I would imagine so. I have the Big Shot, but I use other dies with it as well. I truly think they would work. Go online to Pinterest and ask. They can tell you for sure.

It has the quick change bushings so you don't have to keep adjusting your die settings. The alternative would be to get lock rings (like Hornady) with screw tensioning that allows you to lock them in place at the right depth

I don"t belive it will because the die is made for use with a hammer and there is no way to lock it into another piece of equipment sorry!!!
