Die shoes in a BonnyDoon Press (part 2)

This photo shows the round-stock shearing die, and a close-up of a piece of 3/8" sterling after shearing. The piece that falls out has a wedgecut on it, the stock that stays in the die has a very clean flush-cut on it.
Note the "jumbo" master die holder bolted to the upper platen of the press, it clamps onto the 1.5" drive shank on the die shoes with two bolts at a 90 degree angle.
Anyone else using this type of die shoe in there press?
Ciao,
Phil
PS... note the new press, it is almost identical to the standard 20 ton but has 10" of clearance between platens, and 8" between uprights, ideal for small vessel deep-drawing!! I highly recommend the upgrade!
