I would empty the cart and start a new browser session. The site quoted me $19 and change for shipping to 63090.
Never mind. It makes a difference I don’t live in Hawaii!

I have the G0602 10x22 and have a Shars import AXA wedge tool post on it. It has done everything i needed and it is very good quality considering what I paid for it.

I have been using it for a fairly short time but am so far liking it in 357. For my pistols and carbine the Hodgdon max of 14 grains for an 158 XTP was too hot for me. I tried the Nosler load data...

I have had one for quite a while. I use it to clean brass and gun parts. It doesn't have a real large capacity for gun parts or brass, but it does a passable job on both when used within its limits....

I didn't make a drawing I just made it up as I went.
I will try and post a picture with the parts exploded, to help visualize how it works internally, in the next day or two though.

Thanks for the extra pictures. You did a great job on building the cannelure tool, it looks quite good!

Nice looking tool!
Got any other pictures? I might want to steal some of your ideas for building one.

You can buy a new one from Lyman's parts store for less than a die will cost.
That is why I have a spare with some messed up threads on it as well! :bigsmyl2:

It is 3/8-20. I just measured my spare one with a caliper and thread pitch gage.
Forum: Casting Equipment
Nope!
Can't do that the hole is larger than the rod. That bolt is drilled and tapped 10-32 and the rod then screws up and down thru the bolt and is not locked in any way. I guess you could if you...

The rod is the perfect size for 10-32 threads. The bolt is 5/16 just long enough for a washer and nut. Drilled out the existing hole to fit.

I just tried my Hornady stem and it is too small to fit the Lee bodies that I have, none of them are the dead length seating die but I would guess that they are all the same but maybe they are not!

If yours looked like this I can tell you the dimensions. The diameter was measured with a micrometer and the rest with a dial caliper. These measurements should be close enough to re-create one that...
Those pins are pressed in. I have, in the past, adjusted some on my molds by placing the mold half on something solid and tapping it with a brass rod and hammer to move it. If its a brand new mold...

I just turned a new internal punch with a mirror image of the bevel that was a tight sliding fit.
I guess a fellow could just drill a hole in the end and use some JB Weld to make a matching punch...

ANeat,
Great looking swaging press. It looks like you got all of your material at one time.
Might I ask, what was your approximate material cost was delivered to your door?

If you are talking about the threads at the bottom for the drop tube to thread into, it's 9/16x18.
I just checked this on my Uniflow measure.
