Rotex turret punch press lower die removal
I just bought a rotex turret punch and some of the dies are a bit chowdered up. I have removed top dies but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to remove the bottom ones. There are 2 allen head set screws that go in and I have loosened them off and the dies pop up, but there is not enough clearance with the top turret to remove them. I have looked for a manual on line and can't find one. I plan to make my own dies as I have the machinery, but I need to get them out first! Any help appreciated.

Mark, unfortunately Rotex has gone out of business. I have sent you a PM.

Bought a lot of stuff from Batavia over the decades ...
My turret punch is a Di Acro - sorry, no help. Maybe Century Machinery down in Los Angeles?

At the risk of my own embarrasment . . . . .
Is it not possible to remove the largest upper punch, then remove the die beneath, rotate & repeat ?. I should add that I've never seen, yet alone used any such machinery

Yes, that is the way the DiAcro turret punch works.....
