Machinest needed!

[Wayne Smith]

I have a Herters copy of the CH swage press. I have prevailed on Dave to find some of the old blanks and now have a swage die in 401 and one in 451, but he had no base plug or nose punches. If you are not familiar with the details of this I also have a 357 die with both base plug and nose punch or former that I can send along for you to see the relationship and needed fit.

I need a .401 and .451 base plugs and nose puches for each, ideally to form WFN type noses and to form WFN-HP noses. Rick (Buckshot) had these on his desk for quite a while but told me he was missing one tool he would need to do them - I don't remember which.

Anyone interested?

I will also post this in the Gunsmithing section.

Give them a call, perhaps

Skeet, the "Dave" I mentioned in my first post is Dave Davidson, owner of CH4D. He actually found the die blanks while I was talking to him on the phone.

It is a tool post grinder that Buckshot said was needed.

Try Delta Enterprizes here on this forum. I'm sure he'll chime in with an offer!! Don

I made a simple tool post grinder by using a Dremel tool holder in my lathe compound rest

Something kinda like this :)
