Yes you notice that right. The reson for that is, if you fit springs on the big swages you will not be able to lift the tool up on the dies because they been to heavy. This swages weigh nearly 30kilos each And another reason is, lets say , after ten hit with the hammer you hawe to lift the shaft and the swages to blow away slag (is that the right word ??) in the lower swages so the surface will be good. Roundbar swages is fitted with springs up to about 70mm. Roger
