Help. I can't seem to get a quaility crimp on B and C electrics' BNC male connectors. I have followed your instructions using the RCT crimping tool also from B and C. I used the .213 hex die. I have crimped twice and both times I have come up with a crimped ferrule that has a set of flanges on two sides and some of the flats have a dimple in them. I made sure the round end of the die is facing toward the coax cable. I know the end product is not correct. Could the tool be out of calabration? This is the first time the tool has ever been used. I'am sure it's operator error. What am I to do?
Thanks
Jonsey

Hmmmm . . . I have encountered tools where the ".213" die
was undersized . . . also other brands of connectors that
were oversized and would produce the effects you've cited.
I used to fit check batches of tools I sold with connectors
I sold so as to avoid this situation but I can't speak for
B&C's policies on this. Does your tool have a "jam release"
lever? If so, don't close the tool down all the way. In fact,
when I had a bunch of slightly mis-matched connectors to install
I found combination of shim stock pieces that I could close the
tool down on to set the crimp and then use the jam-release to
get the connector out. If you had a lot of connectors to install,
it might be worth the trouble to get a better match but I think
I'd just explore the incomplete-closure approach and truck on.

It does have the jamb release. I will try that approach and let you know how
it worked.
Thanks Again

I tried to no avail. The first stop that caused the ferrule to lock into
place caused it to flange and dimple. I will call Bill tomorrow and see if
he has an explanation.

Very well. The tool doesn't match the connectors. It's time
to implement plan-C.

I talked to B and C today. They did a test drive of the connectors and the
same tool. He adjusted the crimping pressure however he still ended up with
the flanges. He called them a slight flange. So I guess I need to find a
different coupler that will fit with the tool. Any suggestions?

Hmmm . . . Did you get the connectors and tool from different
sources? One of my suppliers was Jameco but they don't stock
the import connector I used to sell any more but they do
offer name-brand connectors. Suggest you try
https://www.jameco.com/Jameco/Products/ProdDS/355240.pdf
It's their stock# 355240
