    From: "keithmckinley" <keith.mckinley@townisp.com>
    I have the tool and a m22520/1-02 head. Just looking for the proper method of inserting the pin to be crimped as well as what a good test for the quality of the crimp should be. I do not have a g-125 gage to calibrate with. Also, do not have more than a couple pins to practice with. Thank you, Keith McKinley -------- Keith McKinley 700HS KFIT Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=281218#281218

You should have a positioner to hold and properly position (gee...) the pin within the crimping pins. Which contact positioner you need is based on what socket/pin contacts you are using. To free-hand position a contact within the crimp head, well, for a reliable crimp I would think it not a good practice. >I do not have a g-125 gage to calibrate with. Also, do not have more >than a couple pins to practice with. If you're just worried about the depth of the crimp, you can purchase some gage pins from McMaster Carr for a few bucks each. Don't offhand recall the go/no-go diameters, but I can check them tomorrow and post. If you visit the Daniels/DMC tools site, there is extensive reference material to chose the correct tooling... http://www.dmctools.com/default.htm Ron Q. >Thank you, > >Keith McKinley

    Thanks Ron, I looked at the small pins that do the crimping and tried a test. I now see that the pin is actually inserted almost all the way into the positioner for the correct crimp. It also seems to "snap" into place. I think my crimp was just fine as a healthy pull on the connection did not break it. I probably should invest in the go no go tool and I do have the number for that. Saw one on ebay for 25 bucks Thanks again Keith -------- Keith McKinley 700HS KFIT Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=281247#281247
