Using Pat Marlin's Tool

[Ben]

I got the idea of using the lid from a Lee 2 die set as a " disc catch tray ".
I found a drill bit that was a few thousandth's shy of the dia. of Pat Marlin's
.30 cal. gas check tool.

I willfully drilled the hole was too small, then I took a sanding drum
on my Dremel and enlarged the hole with some trial and error until it was
a tight fit on the top of the tool. Works great !

Now , as I punch out the disc, none of them end up on my bench or the floor.

No more getting down in the floor looking for disc ! ! !

I made me a chute.
But then... I am using a tilted Herter's Model #3 C-press.

Disks slide down and drop into a can.
I was using one of my air nozzels, but a mere poof sends then right to the collection can.
Since you have to look down in it anyway for the next punching. :veryconfu

I also blow them sideways to a catch can when step 2 is done.
Good bottle caps.
