THE THREADED ANVIL HOLDER
The STX-360-34 threaded anvil holder is a versatile tool holder. One end holds 3/8”
diameter tools, while the other end is designed for larger diameter tools such as double
ended tools and larger anvils. There is a through hole that axles can pass through for
wheel work. The height is adjusted by positioning the lock nuts. More details about the
use of this threaded anvil holder appear throughout this manual.

BASE PLATE AND TOOL ALIGNMENT - - - The Key to Accuracy
Ours is the only completely adjustable press available today. By creating an adjustable
base plate we are able to remove any misalignment between the ram center line and
the center line of the hole in the base plate. This ensures that any tool inserted in the
ram is centered on any anvil tool placed in the base plate. Properly aligned tools
improve the quality of the work performed. Our adjustable base plate (See Figure 3a
below), in conjunction with the tapered alignment tool, make alignment quick and easy.
Among the items included with your press is a special tapered alignment tool with a
protective cap. (See Figure 3b below) It is used to align the ram to the base plate. It is a
precision tool designed for alignment purposes only. The point is sharp and delicate –
so be careful. This fine point is also used as a visual center indicator when preparing a
setup as explained later in this manual. Always store this tool with its protective cap in
place to prevent damage. Use care when handling and storing this tool.
Note: The alignment tool is never to be used as a punch or pressing tool.
