I have a couple "extra" drill presses, and use them for de-priming, sizing, etc. (in addition to my RCBS press) because they all have drill chucks, which are relatively easy to accommodate various...

I assume you really mean Delrin, an acetalcopolymer. In which case, it cannot EVER be harder than any steel bore, unless contaminated by being scrubbed into the sand or dirt, thus picking up...

I just bought from them a boring head for milling (with the R8 collet fitment). Very well made, and it works. Previously I got MT and 3C collets, and the same QC toolpost.

"Little Machine Shop". Google the web address. (just to keep from being blocked on this forum)
They make THE BEST small machine tool accessories, for reasonable prices. Been using them for years.
A...

Sad to say, but CA would not be the best choice. Their procurement dept. leaves something to be desired (springs, etc.) and their reliability is not for someone who wants to shoot more than 1000...

Considering the potential damage to a machine (lathe, miller, grinder, etc.) by a know-nothing operator, I think the OP's original prices to be quite fair. Guaranteed that an experienced operator...

Wrong. The First number is the DIAMETER of the workpiece the lathe can handle, NOT the swing over the ways.

Tough to figure out what the OP is looking for. Perhaps a bit more description?

In my humble opinion, if the 30-30 was still available, GRAB IT. I had one in .300 Savage, but the more-common version you speak of would be irresistible. Wow. What is the point of the original post,...

About ten or twelve years ago Fine Woodworking magazine tested all the finishes then available to the general public. That did not include the pre-catalyzed finishes which industry uses and which...

Perhaps you haven't tried the satin version of the Wipe-On Poly? It never cures glossy or slick. And frustratingly, tung oil is one of the poorest in resisting moisture.

Yes, Kasenit is even better than Cherry Red.
If it was simply lime, that's what tool & die makers would be using.

Mostly true. Tung oil is not the most durable or moisture-resistant, though. MinWax Wipe-On Poly is one of the most durable, and WILL completely polymerize. Also easier to get, and 'way cheaper. I...

Have you ever heard of case-hardening compound? One simply heats up the steel (of almost any composition, tool or not), then plunges it into a can of the hardening compound (a powder) until cool...

Whew. All those responses, and none of them have the last word, which is any chemical stripper (regardless of price) which has methylene chloride in it. The stuff is so powerful it will remove epoxy....

Even better is the Lyman "M" neck expanding die.

Randy's link DOES NOT work.
Even if it did, it wouldn't answer the thread author's original question.

jmort: Thanks for those specs. That's the info I was looking for. Both of my batches of 500 appear to be from the same mold, and weigh exactly the same, 187 grain.

I originally made a copy of the Skinner aperture (peep) sight, but it was too far from my eye to be useful. Then I spent about two weeks looking for online plans for a tang-mounted sight, which would...

I am looking for published loads to allow me to safely push 190 grain gas-checked in my .357 Mag. revolver at max or near-max velocities. My Lyman Handgun book doesn't go up to 190 grain cast, and I...

I have a BB .357. I made a copy of the Skinner peep sight. Too far away from my eye. I bought a Marble's tang-mounted peep. Much Better!

It comes down to this, and nothing else: The closer the aperture to your eye, the better. Therefore the tang-mounted peep sight is the best. Period.

I have the Hornady One-Shot, and both cleaner solutions; cartridge brass, and pistol parts formulas. DO NOT us the brass cleaner solution for pistol parts, unless you want to strip off all the...

Not sure what you mean by "J head mill". Is that what some call a vertical mill, or a horizontal mill? One or the other. I have a vertical mill and 10" Atlas lathe, and what I would like more than...

"Minwax Wipe-On Poly" is BOTH the easiest and MOST DURABLE finish available. That, and the fact that it's available at Lowe's and Home Depot makes it the de-facto best one can use on a gunstock. I...
