Jim was asking about how we finish a Lee type sizer blank from Keith. Seeing that I have 10 on hand and I needed to make a sizer for Waco I figured it was time for a few videos.
First let me state that the quality of these blanks is amazing. Clean threads, no sharp edges, and the steel cuts so nice. Great product Keith, as usual.
I started by using a threaded sleeve and die lock ring to hold by the threads in my chuck. No thread damage and I can easily back bore. I used 2 steps to get to a hole just under 1/2”.
This shows a better view, sorta, of the sleeve I use to hold the threads. This isn’t the most concentric but for this operation it is good enough.
