I have been looking into making a small run of turret's for the Hollywood SR Turret Press.Turret will be made of C1018 CR Steel not cast steel have the swagging bar hole 3- handle holes drilled and tapped and 8- 7/8-14 threaded die holes (different sized die holes would be available in any configuration you choose for an additional expense.)

Cost of 7/8"-14 dies turret $200 + $12.50 priority shipping

If you might be interested please respond to the thread and send a PM

Long Live Hollywood Presses!!!

BTW- to clarify- these are Tool Heads only!

Any Hollywood Senior Turret owner that's ever thought "what if" or "wish they made ..." should consider this.

MD and I have discussed and worked on this quite a bit. Though MD is doing all of the work! I am confident that these will turn out well and the price is right. One outside source wanted $350.

Considering all of the work involved, this is a labor of love for MD. He is NOT making money on this deal. Even if you figured labor at Three Dollars an hour, he is losing money.

I am in for two of these.

Get 'em while ya can!

OK Fred and Lube I have an update on the Hollywood SR Turret project.

I found a great deal on a mill this week and will be getting it sometime in the next week or so. This means I will be doing all machining and not just drilling and tapping the threads. Being able to get raw square blanks and starting at that point will allow me to drop the price per turret to $160 plus shipping (listening Fred and Lube?) I still need to get a bunch of tooling but I should be able to get it before the end of the month and will be able to buy the steel at that point. Anyone else who wants to jump in and get one at this lower price please chime in the next 2 weeks. As soon as I get one turned out I will take pics of it after testing on my press and send it to Lube for further testing and his seal of approval.At that time I would be willing to run a second batch off at the lower price as long as we have a minimum of 3 or 4 turrets.My steal source is close enough for me to go pick it up from but only if for multiple pieces. if any want some after the second offering or if the second offering is only for one or 2 turrets then the price would have to go back up to $200 per turret plus shipping.

$160 is a Killer Deal!

Thanks for for passing those savings along MD.
