Very good 👍

It looks like either the timing is off, or the front cutter isn't lined up with the die hole. Other than that, it's a very interesting video. I learned how to cold head and thread roll back in the 70's . The company had someone train me for 30 days that knew something about heading and threading. I felt fortunate that I was able to learn how to do this, making dies and the reamers for correct sizing of the blanks, and making the cones,(first blow), and also how to heat treat everything. I wasn't just a set up "operator" but i ran the department myself. I wish that there were books available to me at the time, and videos! I worked for another company (after 13 years)with this one, and finally learned how to use sliding first blow. What a whole new world that opened up!!

I run one of these machines, it's amazing to see what they look like with one color of paint on them, I think the machine at work is probably Pre-WW2, it's a waterbury farrel cold header, except it is larger than this version, I think it's the 20-ton. Also, in the video where it talks about the length of the knock-out pin, you don't have to tune the knock-out to the die setup, there's also an adjuster that controls the throw-out of the knock-out lever which is easier than peen-grind-peen.

Man I have to use a hydraulic press to press the carbide into the steel casing and whenever I do I’m always worried it will shatter into a billion itty bitty pieces. It’s only ever happened twice but I get all nervous about it😄
