I scurried around my barn, looking for a press to install my new FreeChex III check maker in. I was lucky that I found an old Stimpson riveting press that I could adapt to use.

This morning, I bumped into a video showing some fellow running his FreeChex II die set in a drill press successfully. Duh.... why didn't I think of that!

Charlie shipped my FreeChex III die set with a long round pin at the top, which would have chucked into the small harbor freight drill press that I have in my shop. I could have been in business with the FreeChex III without dragging another press (taking up valuable foot print space).

Just thought I would pass that along.

Good idea! Good video, too. Just wish you had shot it from your forward off hand side. Can't see much, but it gets the idea across. :smile:

Ya' know, I was in such a rush, and excited, to do the video that I didn't even slip out of my sleeping cloths. I never really thought about camera angle quite frankly.
