A precision stamping press comprises a press head reciprocally mounted upon a bed for movement, along a press axis, towards a fixed position die support which is axially aligned with the press axis. Cooperating die members are removable fastened to the press head and to the die support for stamping sheet metal placed therebetween. The die support is mounted upon one end of an elongated arm which extends transversely away from the press axis. The opposite end of the arm is pivotally connected to the bed. Thus, the die support may be swung, about the arm pivot, out of its press axis aligned position for replacement of its die member, and then swung back into axial alignment with the press axis for stamping use. Screws, which extend parallel to the press axis, releasably fasten the arm to the bed for fixing the position of the die support. Thus, tightening of the screws tends to move the die support in the direction of the press axis to maintain accurate axial alignment with the press head despite slight variances in the screw tightening pressures.
