Herter's Swaging Tool

[Kragman71]

Hello
I have an old Super Bullet Maker Tool,that I disassembled and cleaned and oiled.
It seems to work fine.The ram and handle assembly are smoothe enough,but definately require effort to move.I did some polishing with 600 grit paper,but lightly.
t seems that the moving parts are too tight.
Can someone who has a working Herter's Super Bullet Maker answer this question?
I have a Herter's Nine Ton Swage Tool,that has no friction.
Thanks
Frank

I use alot of Herter's presses and over time they wear in and have no resistance in the handle. I think its normal after lots of use.

My concern is not with the loose tool.I am making bullets with it.
I wonder if you ever had a tight Herter's tool.
