Gas Check making tool? Veral Smith is tooling up if there is enough interest

[felix]

Do I hear a 25K count from you to start things off? If so, we might consider the 500-512 calibers next. ... felix

Consider that "professional" gas check dies (carbide) cost 600 bucks to fine tune for ONE SPECIFIC ALLOY! ... felix

Junior, That scope was too dark to see either the crosshairs or a deer in the morning or evening. A friend gave me the laser and I sighted it in and wanted to try it on a deer but it got destroyed from recoil. I changed out to an Ultra Dot and now it works great. I have to change my avitar when I take a new picture.
The laser was fun while it lasted!

but quality control of beer can material has a lot to be desired. felix

I, for one, am willing to make a personal sacrifice. I will buy some beer on the way home. At least two different brands of six packs. And conduct extensive testing tonight.

I've posted all this before...so I won't bore you with it...But you can make your own checks. And freechecks would be even easier...

A two die set would work fine, one for blanking and the other for drawing. My concern would be the lack of proper alignment in presses with sloppy or loose threads. This would definately effect the performance of the die. So unless the threads in the press and the ram are aligned within these tolerances, there may be problems.

..............To eliminate loose threads or worn rams, and even baring those the best way to go would be to have the punch retained in the die body. All the ram would do would be to push it up with no mechanical connection. That way the punch and die body remain in alignment regardless. I would hope that that is the way Verel is designing it.

I assume that's directed at me? 25K would be close to a grand. So I'm thinking no on that one. I would be willing to go 10K at least though.

That's Woody's Freecheck Tool.

I had pics of the orginal freecheck tool, but can't find it.

spale checken and phroof reeding are a couple concepts Veral Smith has never heard of. I think he does better at taxes than he does spelling. I thought the $15 did sound too good to be true and I did wonder how it could be done at that price. $150 would be too steep for me. Back before I lost my taste for beer it would have been a great idea to have need to check the consistency of all the different cans.

Note that Veral stated in his quoted comments:

"Ideally the customer would purchase a mold specivically for these checks."

That's not good. I would think that a significant part of the cost recovery of the tools would be cutting checks for all of the molds you own that use a standard check. If they only fit on all new molds bought from LBT

And that was the killer for me. $150.00, okay I shoot enough 30 caliber to make this be worth really thinking about, but with the special molds? Nay. It just doesn't make sense , for me. YMMV.
