Can this press be used for installing metal snaps as well?

Did you figure out how to use this machine to install metal snaps? I bought the snaps die but don't know how to attach it to this machine.

I don't believe that this press would be capable of punching a 3.5" hole in an aluminum computer side panel. It is made to press in pins and inserts.

Snaps are metal. Very hard to get them apart, sometimes I am afraid to stretch or tear the material.

Yes. This is how I use it. Case holder is the same as rcbs single stage press

Without knowing what drill press you are looking at putting it on, I wouldn't be able to tell you. However, based on the horsepower requirements to use this attachment to drill through hard wood, I would say it would not be a good idea.

Not truly sure we understand the question. The male end of the snap has a screw head/portion to it that should screw into the frame. Sorry, the best we could do.

I've never heard of the snap track thing but i only use mine with pvc and it works. I'm sure it would work better on the pipes glide gear makes but I don't have that in my budget ;)

I'm not familiar with Snap Circuits, Jr., but my guess is that some of the basic parts are interchangeable. There are several of these kits; we also have Electronic Snap Circuits.

I haven't used it for snaps, and it probably should work. You can check the company's website and contact information to seek their advice.

This press would be great for that kind of setup. I have my press set up for the correct crimp and Overall Length for my bullet and leave it that way. I manually prime as well. Good luck

yes a hard press. I do not like that aspect about the design either. Not sure which product could help you though.

As long as they are the same (industry standard) thread size. Most dies are. I know Hornady, Redding, Lyman, and RCBS dies all work in this press.

No. It only includes blanks for round buttons. And the press itself has a round indention for holding the blanks, so I doubt you could even use square blanks in the press.

I have used it to create boat covers so I feel sure that it will. The only thing that I caution you about is that you purchase high quality (probably marine/stainless steel) snaps.

I don't know but I know the snaps have not changed. I replaced snaps on 1994 equipment and they were the identical. So I would assume the tools would work as well.

Probably...It's been awhile since I'd ordered these to replace broken buttons on a snow removal 'roof rake' and a senior citizen family member's adjustable chair. Measure the button/protruding pin diameter, the 1/4 inch(6mm) will work with @1/2 in. to @7/8 in. tubing (.45-.87). The VALCO Valley Tool & Die, Inc. website appears to have a brief video 'How to select a snap Button' that should ensure that you select the appropriate variation for your application. There are 1000 variations I just ordered a ".250 single end spring leg snap button" since I was dealing with aluminum tubing with light to moderate loading. Good luck, hope this helps you.

Should work well as you will need a fairly high heat and the press has a setting for linen which should do the trick. You might try the cotton setting first, then go to linen if cotton is not hot enough.
