Gas Check Maker Press Adaptor

[Wasalmonslayer]

Good evening guys
Just wanted to show you a couple adaptors I made now that I got my small lathe/mill set up and running to use it in my Lee press.
I repurposed a shell holder and a 7/8 - 14 bolt.
They are far from flawless but work really well.
Here are a couple pics of what it looks like.

Sorry the press is sideways I tried to fix it.

Very clever, good job!

Ah, the satisfaction of creating tools to get things done is priceless.

 

[Wasalmonslayer]

Very true statement!
I have always enjoyed being handy and as you age and aquire more tools/tooling being handy/industrious becomes a lot more fun/enjoyable

Good on you, Max! Picture of the lathe?

 

[Wasalmonslayer]

Here is a picture before placement in my shop.
I have a full collet set for the mill, 3 jaw scroll chuck, 4 jaw independent and lots of misc bits and tooling.

 

[Wasalmonslayer]

Nothing to fancy and all manual gear/belt changing.
Thinking about putting after market dro read outs.

You use a slotting saw for the Al strip to fit in?

 

[Wasalmonslayer]

Sorry did not build the check maker just the holding pieces for the press.

Nothing to be sorry about, you did a very good job. I'm going to get a slotting saw for my mill and was just curious.
