Nice job!
I wish I had the equipment to do this type of stuff....
I have not taken any training on the use of metal lathes and milling machines but I know I would have fun trying!

My next long term project, on the drawing board right now, is a push-through luber/sizer to fit a standard reloading press that will have an adjustable interrupter valve to allow pressure feeding lubricant during a limited portion of the stroke, like a cross between a Lee and a Star. The Lyman, RCBS, and SAECO luber/sizers all require twice as many hand motions as necessary.[/QUOTE]
Having recently received a set (4 calibers) of your current nose first sizer tools, I have one question: Are you taking orders yet? Gentlemen, if you've not yet taken the step to size this way and particularly to use The Perfessors tools, I recommend you do so at your earliest opportunity. You'll not regret it.
Perfessor, good job on the rebuild, and let us all know when you're ready to introduce the lube portion of the nose first tools. Thanks

I saw this same post close to 2 years ago?

I did the rebuild a number of years ago, so it has been posted and a matter of public knowledge for quite a while now. It still works fine by the way.
I worked out several different variations of how to do straight thru sizing/lubing but various technical/ergonomic/cost issues kept anything that would be attached to a basic loading press from being practical.
But I started selling nose punches and then nut drivers for die removal and then adapter sets for nose first sizing only and a number of other things and I just never got back to designing my own luber as a stand alone unit - that was where my ideas led me. I think it would be far more practical to make a better luber than to make a better luber adapter for a press.
As it is, I don't have the time right now to pursue making a better luber. But I appreciate all the kind words.
