The Forster 1-1/4" to 7/8" Adapter Crossbolt Die Lock Ring is the bridge between your standard dies and Forster's bigger press. The Co-Ax XL ships with large jaws sized for 1-1/4" dies, so if you want to run a common 7/8"-14 sizing or seating die in that setup, this adapter ring is what makes it happen. It fills the 1-1/4" jaw footprint while clamping onto a standard 7/8" die body, giving you a clean, square fit without needing to swap jaw sets back and forth.
Most lock rings use a set screw that bites straight into the die threads to hold position. Forster went a different route here. The cross bolt pinches the two ends of the ring together so it clamps around the entire die rather than digging into it. That means no gouged or burred threads over time, and the ring seats concentric to the die instead of canting off to one side. For a floating-head press like the Co-Ax, keeping everything square is the whole point, and this ring is built to do exactly that.
Adjustment is about as simple as it gets. A 7/64" hex key is all you need to snug or loosen the steel cross bolt, and once you've got your die dialed in, the setting holds every time you slide the die in and out of the press. Because it uses the full flat bearing surface of the jaws, the ring also helps spread load across the T-slot and keeps the die tracking straight.
This ring fits standard 7/8"-14 thread dies from most manufacturers, so it isn't limited to Forster dies alone. If you're setting up a Co-Ax XL and bringing over dies you already own, this adapter is the piece that gets them running without fuss. Sold as a single ring.
It lets you use a standard 7/8"-14 thread die in the larger 1-1/4" jaws of the Forster Co-Ax XL press. The ring clamps onto the smaller die body while filling the 1-1/4" footprint, so the die sits square and holds its setting. Think of it as the adapter that makes your existing dies play nice with the bigger press.
Yes. It fits standard 7/8"-14 thread dies from most manufacturers, so you're not locked into Forster dies. If your die uses the common 7/8"-14 thread, this ring will clamp around it.
Just a 7/64" hex key, also called an Allen wrench. You use it to tighten or loosen the steel cross bolt that pinches the ring around the die. There's no set screw digging into the threads, which is part of what keeps your die threads undamaged.
A set screw tightens directly against the die threads and can cant the ring or chew up the threads over time. The crossbolt design clamps around the whole die body instead, giving you more reliable, concentric alignment. On a floating-head Co-Ax press where squareness matters, that's a real advantage for consistent results.
