I started to respond with >1/8" yesterday when I saw your question, but wasn't sure what was needed and knew Ed would clime in soon with a real answer. Now, I can say I agree with Ed totally. When I welded the "L" brackets to my press I had good clearance on top of die base, but the ends were pretty darn close. Yesterday when pressing a canister (my first ever) using the squaring dies I made things went really good. Good solid press and worked good. The problem came in when I decided to press a rectangular billet into a square. That odd shape caused the squaring dies to move a bit and broke the "L" bracket on the end. Welded back on with a bit more slack.
I do LOVE my quick change die holder, but now need to add the clip to hold the dies in place so they don't slide out when dragging the billet over the die.
