I have somewhere between 15 and 20 sets of Lyman handles and I have small SC, large SC and DC mould blocks. Somehow, I seem to only have one set of handles that will fit the small SC blocks and I need a way to find the proper set of used handles at the large online auction site.
It seems I also have a couple of variations, one of which almost allows the thin wood to contact in the middle when they are closed on a block, most of mine do not even come close to meeting in the middle. I have smallish hands and I love that one set of handles. I seem to be picking up more and more small SC blocks and can only use one at a time, so I have to do something about it. I have read that the Lee handles will fit and work with the small SC blocks, it worries me a little as the arms do not fill the slot on the block, so some up and down movement is going to happen and I think it would wear the alignment pins to some degree.
