OK, so a search didn't get me what I wanted to know, so here's yet another thread on a Herters sizer.
At an estate auction I picked up the sizer w/four dies & three top punches, along w/a Pacific C press for few dollars. The C press I'll sandblast & repaint, after that...
The sizer though,
I've cleaned up the extra dies (the threaded type) and have removed the old lube from the reservoir, Kroil has been applied to all the necessary points, BUT the sizer die doesn't want to budge. And yes, the nut on the underside has been completely loosened. Heat has also been applied here, so before I apply to much muscle in the wrong spot, how does one normally go about removing one of these, meaning the sizing die?
The top punch I figure is frozen, so I'll let the Kroil do it's thing overnight and then we'll see what's going on with it. Oh, and that thumb screw has been loosened too.
