I picked this press up at auction this weekend and was wondering if any one here has seen/used one of these machines. Its marked "The Tool" by R.P.D, the pat number 4522102 and serial number 1138
Did a Google search and came up with the following:
A company out of Ohio by the name of RDP produced a massive rotary progressive called THE TOOL that eventually was motorized but the machine was expensive and the company eventually closed.
Here's a link to the site: http://www.pennbullets.com/Reloading...ndPresses.html
Hey thanks, I found that site earlier thats about all the information that I could find and was just wondering if someone could add to it
Contact Ricketts on the bay. He can help you.
Here's a link to US Patent 4522102.

Unless you REALLY want to mess with it, you might want to take him up on his offer. Sell it to seagiant! He will love it back to life.
I would keep it and restore it. After getting it running and looking nice again if you don't want it then sell it.
What a piece of Iron.
The picture looks like it's missing a few parts (primer magazine, etc), but it looks like one heavy duty press. I'd love to see that thing work.

It weights about 85 lbs, I'm going to try and getting up and running again and do a write up when its finished
I think "The Tool" is a good name for an 85# press.
I am imPRESSED.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
My amendment can beat up your amendment.
Looks awesome to me, should be a fun project
