If I remember correctly the 1/0 would be a 247 die and the 4/0 would be an 840 die. Not too sure about the others.

I don't know if you have CSA dies, but 1/0 is CSA 22, 4/0 is CSA 24, 336 is either CSA 26 or 28, depending on the manufacturer, and 795 is CSA 32.

Ya your right. It's been a long time since I've used one.

Most of our trucks have MD6 presses, I just got a new one last year and it is an MD7. Now my buddy that has a small pole line business, just bought a Greenlee battery operated MD6 press.

Depends on the manufacturer. If you are using Burndy Dies..For 1/0 ...It's a 165, 4/0-168, 336- 321, and for 795 its 342 (this die is for a 60 ton press, the others are 12 ton)
