    Who made it.....what is it?

    This is another tool I bought sight unseen. It appears to be a case trimmer on one side but is the other side a mini press?
    Hopefully someone will recognize it and let me know. It's very well made and looks like a precision tool.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    The left side is a case mike to check case length.
    Looks nicely made and a great addition to any loading bench.

    Micro-Precision case length gauge and trimmer. A really neat tool, though mine is missing the stop collar so I cannot try it out.

    Nice find and not made for a lengthy period.


    Micro-Precision was started by the Schissel brothers of Cherokee, Iowa. They had a great line of innovative tools. Dietmeyer, formally of Pacific bought them through Bair and added some presses to his line, this tool and all the dies and scales were dropped.

    A case micrometer....duh? I should have known, trim the case to length and then check for accuracy. I also have 2 Hollywood reloading machines that I also got in the deal along with dies for center fire as well as some that look like shot shell dies, all for the Hollywood.
    I'm only showing one of the Hollywoods since I don't feel like toting the other one out of the storage shed. These are the heaviest and most reloaders I've ever seen.
    More goodies include two Hensley and Gibbs molds, one is 130 which I believe is 185gr .45ACP and the other one says Click image for larger version.  Name: P1010630.JPG  Views: 67  Size: 166.4 KB  ID: 264939

    I just sent my check into ARCTA so that I can learn more and see what the rest of the tools that came with everything that I bought are. I'm having a hard time finding information about the Hollywood other than an article by Ken Neeld that I found online.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    That is one massive press ! Maybe swage 20mm with that one.
