The rigger has said that it is believed that the swaging press has a stretched bearing housing in the base and so the dye/s move laterally when the pressure is on. Might also explaing why we got a few bananas inthe batch of fittings done there.
The wire and fittings all fitted snugly when we put them togeather before swaging (firm push on fit).
He is keen to do the 3rd pass on the press when it is repaired
