    For me, the real question is what size ID do you need to get the desired size of sized bullet. Star Lubesizer dies are undersize versus the marked size, but I'm not sure by how much. i.e. a .357...

    If I answer that question someone will think I am trying to sell something, delete the post and give me a strike. Best to ask questions like that via PM.

    Formica is great and easy to keep clean but as discussed, does not take a beating. I picked up a large sheet of 1/2" thick polypropylene so lay on top of the Formica in my principal work area (in...

    Sometimes. Tapered cases like 9MM or 30 Carbine go much easier with lube. New Starline brass can be very difficult to size and lube is almost essential. Subsequent sizings of Starline go much...

    I'm pretty sure the diameter of the rod for Star and Phelps Lubsizers is the same. I actually have a milk carton full of cut to length rods I got from Jim Fausto when the last of the Phelps...

    You could try this, all those plastic drawers on the left are individual die sets.

    South Bend Heavy 10 with a wide range gear box cuts 27 tpi. There is also a special gear you can add to a South Bend 9A so it will cut 27 tpi.

    The sizer looks like an original Star, not a Magma made machine, so it is older than older than 02. 1997 at the latest, but probably older than that. Not that that's a problem.

    If the crankshaft is actually bent, it will be near impossible to remove it without filing it down or cutting the end off so you can get it through the aluminum casting. Magma has replacement...

    I have never actually seen one with the O-rings, so I assume it was pretty late......or is it possibly just a Magma Engineering thing?

    I use Birchwood Casey Synthetic Gun Oil with Teflon, but I won't claim is better than any other. Any oil is better than no oil.

    yes, you should add some oil to the little hole on the top to keep the crank shaft lubricated. You should also occasionally put a drop of oil on the two link pins that hold the "Ram Link". I get...

    The set screw is meant to hold the die in place. It's possible, but extremely rare that lube pressure could push the die up. If that's not a problem for you, then don't worry about the set screw. ...
