Abstract: A novel system for mounting a die on a base is provided. Such a die/die mounting system combination includes a die, the die having a fixed countersunk aperture adjacent one lateral edge thereof, and having a countersunk aperture longitudinally-locatable within a longitudinally-extending slot adjacent an opposite lateral edge thereof. It also includes a pair of indexing nuts, each indexing nut including (i) a nut element provided with a geometrically-shaped head and a depending stub, at least the stub being pierced by an internally-threaded hole, and (ii) an indexing element having an upper externally-threaded shaft, a geometrically-shaped waist and a depending indexing portion, the depending indexing portion including an upper cylindrical end and a lower frusto-conical end. One such indexing nut is secured within the die with the stub of the nut element within the countersunk fixed aperture and with the indexing element firmly threaded into the internally-threaded hole.
