Introducing the Buchanan Precision Machine Hand Press

[W.R.Buchanan]

OS OK: No problem,,, I speak "twisted" real fluently.

I will have all of this together in the next few days and will post a thread in the "group buys" section. Just a few more minor details to iron out. and I want to test it some more.

Have you considered putting a hole in one of the handles so it can be bolted down sideways on a bench?

[PaulG67]

Very nice, excellent work. That would be a very useful tool for load work at the range. Far easier to carry to the range that what I use now.

[W.R.Buchanan]

OK,,, Here's what the thing looks like With the Logo burned in and the SS Links. I think it came out pretty decent, hope y'all do too!

Still not completely happy with the links as the material I was sent was garbage and sheared to size instead of cold rolled They don't look like they should. Easy fix as soon as I find the right material.

This is SN# P1

I started processing 50ea. 44 Magnum cases today and sizing/depriming and flaring went very well with minimal effort. The tool works really well when sizing and the action of pushing your palms together seems natural. The action of pulling the handles back apart with the press in line with your body works well also. This comes naturally and I didn't have to think about it, it just seemed like the right way to do it.

I flared the cases with the tool clamped to the bench and that went fast. These single stage operations are just as fast as a normal single stage press. Pistol cases are a breeze and I will do some .45-70's tomorrow and report back on how that goes.

As I mentioned at the beginning, once you are set for production, count me in. Way cool.

Nice looking tool

[W.R.Buchanan]

OK today is Monday the 21st of March,2016. I ordered parts today for the first 25 units and if sales exceed that number I can increase it on the fly. I've got to start somewhere and this will be a substantial enough run to work any bugs out, so that's where we're at right now.

I am now taking orders and you may go to the Group Buy Section for the particulars.

This is not like some of the Group Buys here on Castboolits where everybody signs up and waits a year or so for somebody to get off their butt and make the product.. The first 25 will be delivered on or before the stated time. I am a functioning Machine Shop Business and US Govt. Contractor and generally make my delivery dates.
