I just received some tools from Mattesons Machine



Some gas check makers and a Alumin 7/8x14 Tool head for my Lyman JR press!

Very interesting!
I've never heard of this guy.
A one-stage checkmaker seems quite attractive..

Is this the guy in Florida? If it is, I could never get the gas checks to fit on my bullets. Sent it back 2 times to try to get it to fit. Gave up and just went plain base

I mounted the Lyman JR turret to ight

I need a spring for detent.

Got any old ball bearings? The one in your old tool head is probably peened around the hole to hold it in. You should be able to get a few off of Amazon. I know I seen them when looking for them for a monkeys fist.

Yup! I show in the video the ones I bought off Amazon!

I just need a stiffer spring!

 

[Tomme boy]

I have got a bunch of springs from Ace Hardware and Truevalue before. Homedepot has a bunch too. We have a Farm & Fleet here that carries them too. They are usually in the smaller boxes above the regular bolts and nuts.

HD and Lowes was NG. But my local True Value had a selection. I bought three and one seems to be passable. Id like stiffer but its working.

Stack them like a valve spring to increase the pressure.
