rockFord_Expedition Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 What size dies are y'all using for shca 1/0? I used the 70, but I don't really like the fins that it makes on the lug, would the 95 be too large? I explained how to get rid of the fins. You use 2 different size dies, and rotate the lug and do it about 4 times with each die. Crimp the entire length of the lug that hold wire, so you have to crimp it twice with each die anyways, and when you rotate it to get rid of the fins thats another 2 crimps with each.

rockFord_Expedition Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Mine have fins.....does it matter or is that more just for looks? Leaving the fins leaves a sharp edge, they're unsightly even under heat shrink. Yeah, you could snip em off with a pair of dikes or with a little more work you can compress all of the copper together maintaining maximum conductivity. Same idea as losing strands of wire when you make your cuts. Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magillaru Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well damn.....that's what I was wondering......if it would impact conductivity. Thank you for putting my OCD in overdrive.
