    Hello everybody,

    I am from the Netherlands and i recently ordered and received this gascheck maker in .30 cal.
    Unfortunately i encountered the same problems.
    I tryed different materials eg aluminium and copper in different thicknesses from .2 to .5 mm.
    None of them worked properly, sheared rim, stuck material in the die, stuck checks on the forming stem, etc.
    Sending it back and get a new one witb probably the same issues i found to much hassle, so i decided to tune it up myself.

    The forming stem is a glued an pressfit construction (7mm) so i drilled a partial hole from the underside with a 5mm drilling bit.
    Then i used a 5mm punch to knock out the stem.
    I made a new forming stem in the correct size (.284" or 7.2mm), rounded the top a little, and polished this to a mirror finish.
    Glued this new stem back in the bottom piece with green locktite (for glueing gears on shafts).

    Now the check maker works fantastic without any flaws, in all thicknesses and both in copper and aluminium.

    Problems with this check maker are apparently a to small forming stem diameter and a bad finish (lack of polishing).

    Greetings from the Netherlands.
