remove the cap screws, then remove all of
the dies from the machine.
Note: To aid in re-installation, record the ori-
entation of each die as your remove it.
7. Thoroughly clean the dies and mounting area
with a solvent or mineral spirits to remove
debris, mill flash, and built-up grime.
Note: If you will be storing the dies, protect
them with a light coat of an anti-rust prod-
uct like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or
Boeshield® T-9 (see
Section 5: Accessories
on Page 35 for more details).
The orientation, position, and tolerances of the
bar stock shearing dies do not allow for flipping
them to use another cutting edge—neither can
they be ground or sharpened. When they become
damaged or dull, call Grizzly Tech Support at
(570) 546-9663 to order new ones.
